default KDE4 pkgconfig options. (LP: #923583)

Drop useless command line switches

    Drop some unused globals and command line switchers, notable changes

    --indirect-rendering : There isn't a sane usecase for this anymore
    apart from remote compositing. Enable it automatically if needed, otherwise
    force direct rendering

    --use-root-window : Composite Overlay Window support was added to the server
    six years ago. We can drop this

    --background-image : Use the wallpaper plugin

    --no-detection : Use ccsm

Prevent core classes being reinstantiated in plugins. (LP: #922199)

This not only caused massive code bloat from the duplicated class functions,
but serious bugs from duplicated static data such as singleton pointers.

Cross merge from trunk

2965. By Sam Spilsbury on 2012-01-26

Fixes up a bunch of boost::variant edge cases

1. Fixes a case where const char * would be converted to bool, add a wrapper to ensure it gets converted to CompString
2. Fixes a case where unsigned short [] and unsigned short * would get converted to bool also, add a wrapper to ensure they are stored correctly
3. Adds some template specializations for the above, especially the reading part.

Fix build failures with glib 2.30 (oneiric) (LP: #921406)

Amazingly, there is no compatible GThread/GMutex/GCond API that is compatible with both glib 2.30 (oneiric) and 2.31 (precise). So we need to #if them :(
