I've noticed there are a couple old merge proposals against lp:compiz-libcompizconfig that might be relevant to this conversion. Particularly: https://code.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz-libcompizconfig/compiz-libcompizconfig.fix_873772/+merge/79456 which aims to fix LP: #873772 and LP: #88190: "It is possible for users to really mess up their systems by disabling important plugins like move, resize, composite, opengl and unityshell. As such, we should provide a way for distributions to be able to lock down certain parts of the user's configuration, such as settings values or the plugins one is allowed to have enabled or disabled" I don't know if Unity/Compiz have a patch pilot scheme, but it would be nice if someone with the a deeper knowledge of Compiz could help push these to completion. This is outside of my skill set. -- Andrew Starr-Bochicchio Ubuntu Developer <https://launchpad.net/~andrewsomething> Debian Maintainer <http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=a.starr.b%40gmail.com> PGP/GPG Key ID: D53FDCB1 -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
