Compiz's Modal Dialog plugin has landed in Oneiric Ocelot

Last week the light themes received the modal dialog's theming and, just now the actual Compiz Modal Dialog plugin has landed in Oneiric.

The effect between the parent window and the child dialog is quite visible and focus-oriented, one can easily concentrate on the dialog's items as opposed to the main window.

Although this is the first release, the Modal Dialog plugin can be easily adjusted via CompizConfig Settings Manager-->Window Management-->Dialog Handler

In Ubuntu 11.10, at the moment, there is a funny situation: the modal dialog's theming can be seen only on Unity-2D (Ubuntu 2D) but the actual Compiz Modal Dialog plugin works only on Unity 3D (at the moment only Unity 3D is based on Compiz, Unity-2D will probably follow in the future).
