[ Didier Roche ]
* pick upstream fix, debian/patches/fix_953839.patch:
[regression] Invisible resize border is now only 1px wide (LP: #953839)
* debian/patches/revert_lim.patch:
- revert the integrated menu patch. It won't be released in precise and
triggers a regression (in bug #962085)
* debian/patches/fix_953089_2.patch:
- second trial to fix remaining corner cases
* debian/patches/exit_1_if_composite_cant_init.patch:
- try to workaround a crasher which seems to happen when the composite
plugin failed to initialize. Hopefully exiting 1 will make gnome-session
respawning compiz and then the init will work. (LP: #833729)
* debian/patches/always_replace.patch:
- right now, always replace the current WM as it seems that some people
got another compositor running at the start of the session. This will
hopefully workaround the issue that some people experience.

Bug description:
Global menu in general (not only in Unity) is very unergonomic on
large screens (see the attached screenshot) because if you have a
small window somewhere near the low right corner you have to move the
cursor all the way up to to panel to reach the menu. I understand why
the global menu was used for the netbook edition (it saves space and
most windows are maximized), but since Unity is intended to be for the
desktop edition there should be an option to switch to the traditional
position of the app menu. It would be welcomed by many desktop users.
A commonly suggested solution is:
[ ] Global Menu on
[ ] Global Menu off
[ ] Global Menu only for maximized windows
The default is usually suggested as either the first (on) or last (on only
for maximized windows).
