[compiz] Include option type in gconf schema

[Ben Reeves]

I am writing a configuration front end for the compiz gconf plugin at the moment, but it's proving harder than it should be because gconf does not record what type of compiz option the key is. For example, say i want a color picker for each color option the only way I can tell with gconf if it is color  is if it has a # at the beginning, but there could be string option which also have a # at the beginning so is not reliable.

My proposal is that the short_description of each gconf key should contain the option type

e.g.
/apps/compiz/general/allscreens/options/close_window_key short description should be something like "compiz_key_modifier"
/apps/compiz/plugins/cube/screen0/options/skydome_gradient_end_color should contain something like "compiz_color"

Hope thats clear
