Package: compiz-plugins-default Version: 1:0.9.13.0+16.10.20160818.2-5.1 Severity: important
--- Please enter the report below this line. --- According to e.g., https://www.mail-archive.com/compiz@lists.launchpad. net/msg11314.html, the plugin "wall" has a hidden option "nodelay". It disables the plugin's ability to use the general option "edge delay" to wait before the edge flip is started. The first problem is that the default setting is "true", i.e., don't delay. The user can adjust in CCSM --> General --> General Options --> Edge Trigger Delay, but will get frustrated as it is ignored by Compiz. Some users could try to search the internet for solutions. Several forum posts suggest to edit /usr/share/compiz/wall.xml and change all instances of <nodelay>true</nodelay> to <nodelay>false</nodelay>. The second problem is that with the current version this workaround doesn't even work any more. See e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu /+source/compiz/+bug/771463?comments=all. So please: - fix the behavior of the "wall" plugin - set the default of nodelay to false --- System information. --- Architecture: Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 Debian Release: buster/sid 500 unstable www.deb-multimedia.org 500 unstable http.at.debian.org 500 testing www.deb-multimedia.org 500 testing http.at.debian.org 500 stable http.at.debian.org 1 experimental http.at.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ================================================================-+-==================================== compiz-core (= 1:0.9.13.0+16.10.20160818.2-5.1) | 1:0.9.13.0+16.10.20160818.2-5.1 libdecoration0 (= 1:0.9.13.0+16.10.20160818.2-5.1) | 1:0.9.13.0+16.10.20160818.2-5.1 libc6 (>= 2.14) | libcairo2 (>= 1.2.4) | libgcc1 (>= 1:3.0) | libgl1-mesa-glx | OR libgl1 | libglib2.0-0 (>= 2.16.0) | libglibmm-2.4-1v5 (>= 2.50.0) | libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0) | libpng16-16 (>= 1.6.2-1) | libsigc++-2.0-0v5 (>= 2.2.0) | libsm6 | libstartup-notification0 (>= 0.2) | libstdc++6 (>= 5.2) | libx11-6 | libx11-xcb1 | libxcb1 | libxcomposite1 (>= 1:0.3-1) | libxcursor1 (>> 1.1.2) | libxdamage1 (>= 1:1.1) | libxext6 (>= 2:1.3.0) | libxfixes3 (>= 1:4.0.1) | libxi6 | libxinerama1 | libxml2 (>= 2.7.4) | libxrandr2 (>= 4.3) | libxrender1 | libxslt1.1 (>= 1.1.25) | Package's Recommends field is empty.
