2985. By Daniel van Vugt on 2012-02-08

Revert revision 2938:
    lp:~smspillaz/compiz-core/compiz-core.fix-880707-test-v3
in order to avoid a critical regression it causes (LP: #928655).

Unfortunately the regression was not just a logical bug, but a design bug.
The imposition of user-controlled frame rate throttling completely broke the
existing automatic frame rate throttling and detection. This was a design bug
because it attempted to separate waiting for Vsync from buffer swapping.
Doing so makes the detection of unthrottled rendering impossible. So the
paintscheduler would just switch to non-vsync mode and get stuck there
(LP: #928655).

Instead use the original algorithm from revision 2916:
    lp:~vanvugt/compiz-core/fix-880707.2
which is stable and has many months of community testing already.

Fix regression: Compiz failed to pass key events through to other apps/windows in some cases (LP: #925979)

Revert back to how the code looked in the previous release (and oneiric).
