Fix committed into lp:compiz-core at revision 3042

This bug was fixed in the package compiz - 1:0.9.7.2-0ubuntu1

---------------
compiz (1:0.9.7.2-0ubuntu1) precise-proposed; urgency=low

  [ Łukasz 'sil2100' Zemczak ]
  * New upstream snapshot:
    - Fix global menu not being ergonomical on large screens (LP: #682788)
    - Fix Alt+Right arrow key (LP: #943612)
    - Fix key bindings for actions while doing tap detection (LP: #944631)
    - Window movement is erratic and buggy, backport (LP: #923683)
    - CompScreenImpl::addAction(CompAction*): Assertion `priv->initialized'
      failed (LP: #946118)
    - gtk-window-decorator crash with SIGSEGV in max_window_name_width()
      (LP: #937815)
    - Finish the implementation of the locally integrated menubars
      (LP: #931245)
    - Unity/compiz intercepts keystrokes from grabbed windows (LP: #806255)
    - Pressing alt doesn't show the menu title bar in top panel (LP: #943194)
    - Fix Alt stealing focus from widgets (LP: #943851)
    - Fix Alt + drag (LP: #945373)
    - lp:compiz-core fails parallel builds (make -jN) (LP: #938417)
    - Changing the HUD shortcut disables all Alt-based combinations. And
      changing the Dash shortcut disables all Super-based shortcuts
      (LP: #945816)
    - Fix key bindings (such as Super) not working on empty workspace or on
      slow/loaded systems (LP: #953089)
    - compiz crashed with signal 5 in Glib::exception_handlers_invoke()
      (LP: #808007)
    - Fix segfault caused by r3043 (LP: #958540)
  * Removed cherry-picked patches:
    - debian/patches/fix_806255.patch
    - debian/patches/fix_923683.patch
    - debian/patches/fix_943194.patch
    - debian/patches/fix_944631.patch
    - debian/patches/fix_alt_pressing.patch
    - debian/patches/additional_alt_tapping_fix.patch

  [ Didier Roche ]
  * pick upstream fix, debian/patches/fix_953839.patch:
    [regression] Invisible resize border is now only 1px wide (LP: #953839)
  * debian/patches/revert_lim.patch:
    - revert the integrated menu patch. It won't be released in precise and
      triggers a regression (in bug #962085)
  * debian/patches/fix_953089_2.patch:
    - second trial to fix remaining corner cases
  * debian/patches/exit_1_if_composite_cant_init.patch:
    - try to workaround a crasher which seems to happen when the composite
      plugin failed to initialize. Hopefully exiting 1 will make gnome-session
      respawning compiz and then the init will work. (LP: #833729)
  * debian/patches/always_replace.patch:
    - right now, always replace the current WM as it seems that some people
      got another compositor running at the start of the session. This will
      hopefully workaround the issue that some people experience.
