The following has been my goal since i started using Ultimate Edition several years ago. Its been a long road but now i've made it to owning all the equipment i have worked so hard for, but now i'm loosing the effects of Compiz...
So here is my reasoning for my desire to have the compiz effects, i know i must have dozens of posts asking the same damned question. i have 6 monitors on a video wall in my basement. 2 of which i use as my primary monitors. My dual radeon 7990s run 2 - 65 inch Samsung UN65F9000 tv's and 4 7000 series Samsung tv's. This Computer is integrated into a McIntosh Digital/Analog Audio System. i am an audio/video and systems security integrator by trade so i write it off as "research"... Anyway, electric sheep and the remarkable effects Compiz give as well as the additional eye candy from Ultimate Edition make for the most remarkable computer anyone has ever seen. i mean peoples eyes almost pop out of their head when they see what Linux and some tweaking can do. (anyone ever tried the Commodore Distro of Ubuntu? Far Out!)
I really want to upgrade to the latest version of Ultimate Edition but the Compiz effects are minimal. i have hardware compatibility issues and just other little problems with 12.04 especially with multiple monitors across 2 graphics cards with dual gpus in each. Windows runs smooth as glass but still have problems with Ubuntu. this is ongoing for 2 years now, and since ive made the upgrades to the 7990s no improvement.
needless to say i find a video wall with these fantastic effects to be a visual experience that is like no other,
I am hoping Thee Mahn has something up his sleeve so i can upgrade to 4.2 and still have all the greatest effects from compiz. Maybe even implement all the long lost compiz effects back from 10.04 and before. THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!
If there is a programmer out there that can do this for Ubuntu 14.04 / Ultimate Edition 4.2 please contact me directly as im willing to do whatever it takes to keep the effects when upgrading to the latest ubuntu/Ultimate Edition.

I started saving for this equipment when I was 29. im now 36. No wife, No kids. I sure would like to keep the visual experience provided by Compiz. If there is anyone with any suggestions please let me know...
