Well a few updates just came down out of the Gutsy backports. These happened to be Compiz 0.6.2 😀

If you would like to update your Compiz, Simply enable the Gutsy Backports repository by going System→Administration→Software Sources. Go to the Updates tab and enable the Gutsy Backports
Reload the Software Sources when prompted. You should then receive an update notification. Have fun 😀
One of the things I noticed is that the drop shadow offset now works properly when adjusted.
