  [ Didier Roche ]
  * debian/patches/ubuntu-config.patch:
    - refresh with latest trunk
  * debian/*docs:
    - remove the TODO copy now removed upstream
  * debian/compiz-plugins.install:
    - install stackswitch, trip plugins
  * debian/rules, debian/control:
    - remove the compiz gnome-control-center key sedding through metacity.
      Compiz now directly ships them.
    - we do not need metacity-common anymore as a build-dep then
  * debian/compiz-gnome.migrations, debian/control:
    - build-dep on dh-migrations and ship gconf -> gsettings migration file

  [ Matthieu Baerts (matttbe) ]
  * Update apport hook for python3 ; thanks to Edward Donovan (LP: #1013171)

  [ Timo Jyrinki ]
  * New upstream snapshot.
    - Fix Compiz crash in movementWindowOnScreen (LP: #1015151)
    - Start window decorator when decor plugin starts (LP: #1014461)
    - Fixed: Crash in compiz::wall::movementWindowOnScreen (LP: #1015151)
    - Don't waste memory leaving /bin/sh running (LP: #1015422)
    - Add reliable detection of the compiz bin directory (LP: #1015898)
    - Check if the window would actually paint before painting the shadow,
      since it is possible that another plugin could be inhibiting paint of
      the dock window. (LP: #1012956)
    - Don't insert the window into the server list above the window it was
      created above. (LP: #1008020) (LP: #886605)
    - makes compiz enhanced zoom and show mouse plugins considerably
      smoother to use (LP: #930783)
    - Don't set decoration contexts on undecorated windows, since that
      might be read later and code will assume the window is decorated when
      it isn't. (LP: #1015593)
    - Fix potentially unterminated string leading to an uninitialized memory
      read (LP: #1018302)
    - Lift the 31/32 character restriction on key names that was causing so
      many warnings. It's now 1024 characters according to glib. (LP: #1018730)
    - Don't print the result of BUILD_DEB. It prevents ccsm et al from
      installing. (LP: #1018916)
    - Use the XDamage extension more efficiently (the way it was designed to be
      used). This dramatically reduces CPU usage, reduces wakeups, and
      increases frame rates. It also solves at least one observed performance
      bug (LP: #1007299) and probably several more.
    - Do the initial work to get libcompizconfig under test. (LP: #990690)
    - Add support for initiating window picker in other than nomal mode. For
      now added only the additional 'All windows' picker (LP: #933776)
      (LP: #955035)
    - Fixes (LP: #1018602) : An invalid read when using g_variant_iter_loop.
    - Don't allow unbinds of textures kept around for animations in any case,
      not just resizing. (LP: #1016366)
    - Wait for the server to finish processing requests before doing a bind
      (LP: #1016367)
    - Using the next/previous bindings the wall plugin didn't calculate
      correctly the next workspace when it reaches the begin or the end of a
      row of workspaces, so it didn't jump to the n...

I'm using gnome-control-center 3.4.2-0ubuntu13, and the Theme selection in Appearance settings changes the GTK theme and not the WM theme. I'm seeing the same with gnome-tweak-tool 3.5.5-0ubuntu1. From the looks of it, these panels are both changing the dconf key named "theme" in "org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences", but Compiz is only looking at the obsolete gconf key "/apps/metacity/general/theme." Have I gone and broken something on my end, or is this reproducible? Should I file another bug report?

@dylanmccall: See bug 1046895 for that

It's ridiculous the bug affects me today when updating to compiz 0.9.8.4, regression? again ?

@funicorn: I guess you've ridiculously commented on the wrong bug ;-) otherwise I don't understand your comment.
