Bug Description

[Test Case]
Make sure the Fade to Desktop plugin cannot be enabled when Unity is enabled.

[Regression Potential]
No regression potential.

Original description:

To reproduce:

Open a window (CCSM for example) -> Click on the "Show Desktop" Unity Launcher Icon -> The CCSM window fades out like it is supposed to -> now click on the CCSM icon, the expected behaviour would be that it fades into view again, but instead of doing so the icon backlight turns off like you would have closed CCSM, but it is still opened, just hidden -> the only known way to get it back to view is to click on the "Show Desktop" icon again

In short words: "Fade to Desktop" plug-in is broken once unityshell is activated.

Workaround:

Disable the "Fade to Desktop" plug-in. Unity uses its own code to fade to the desktop (unity/plugins/unityshell/src/UnityShowdesktopHandler.cpp/.h).

This bug was fixed in the package unity - 6.10.0-0ubuntu2

---------------
unity (6.10.0-0ubuntu2) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  * Cherry-picked from upstream:
    - [SRU Regression] Launcher icon corruption while rearranging
      (LP: #1071813)

unity (6.10.0-0ubuntu1) quantal-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Timo Jyrinki ]
  * New upstream release.
    - Gap between the dash gradient and the panel one (LP: #1062375)
    - [regression] Dash closes if the onscreen keyboard is outside of
      Dash' geometry (LP: #1058705)
    - Dash - Category expander arrow is in expanded mode no matter if
      category is actually expanded (LP: #1053047)
    - Unity panel does not show the kate menus in the correct order
      (LP: #1062283)
    - compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in g_type_check_instance_is_a() from
      g_object_unref() from _g_file_attribute_value_clear() from ... from
      query_info_async_cb() [libgvfsdbus.so] (LP: #1061510)
    - dash's music album previews: can't drag the scrollbar (LP: #1056995)
    - Small chunks of the panel shadow appear individually (and very dark)
      (LP: #1057528)
    - compiz crashed with SIGSEGV on Unity "Unmount" (LP: #1055812)
    - [regression] Dash - 'More suggestions' icons in App Lens are too

    - BamfLauncherIcon: ensure the icon and name values when the running
      state changes (LP: #772986)
    - Changes the swapping order of the detail mode. Now the currently
      active window gets moved to the end, instead of getting swapped
      with the last used window (LP: #1061229)
    - Fixes GetRegion tex coord maths (LP: #1058391)
    - Fixed fade-in behavior of Unity's showdesktop function (LP: #1063249)
    - Added <feature>showdesktop</feature> to unityshell.xml.in, because
      the feature showdesktop is provided by unityshell. (LP: #1006429)
      (LP: #1006434) (LP: #1063171)
    - Make HudLauncherIcon::ubus_manager_ "un-static" (LP: #1048274)
    - Fix reference counting problem which leads to memory leaks and a
      crash in MT grab handles (LP: #1046201)
    - Ensure categories with non-personal results can show up before empty
      categories with personal results (LP: #1067327)
    - fix a backup error (LP: #1066646)

  [ Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak ]
  * Cherry-picked from upstream:
    - Reverted the switch from boost to std which was part of the fix for
      LP: #1046201. The crash is still fixed without this change, so it was
      actually unneeded
