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
