[regression-r3320] firepaint doesn't paint any fire any more

I think I know when this broke actually...

Bisected. The cause is indeed the gles2 merge:

  This branch contains the code to make compiz work on GLES. This includes
  several changes to the compiz API.

I'm using intel graphics right now and it doesn't work. But I'm sure it worked in the gles2 branch at least with other drivers.

Hi, I got firepaint to work. (tested on Intel graphics).

@bitzesmichail: Wow, great news !

Fix committed into lp:compiz at revision 3534, scheduled for release in Compiz 0.9.9.0
Fix committed into lp:compiz/0.9.8 at revision 3431, scheduled for release in Compiz 0.9.8.8

I am doing some work on porting firepaint to OpenGL|ES. (I split the GL_QUADS to GL_TRIANGLES and replaced glDrawArrays etc. with GLVertexBuffer). I will post it when I get free time from university commitments.

Nice, thanks Michail.
