Description of the Change

the dependency on the largedesktop feature which can be provided by wall or cube is a nice idea, but in practice this means that when changing from one to the other the unity plugin gets unloaded half way through which breaks peoples desktops. Without the dependency the transition works fine.

Thanks for proposing this patch!

This was done to fix this issue: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/711561 as already explained on the desktop thread.

Note that this is not the right fix, the right fix is to fix ccsm about the dependency transaction (as explained on the ubuntu desktop mailing)
But agree, let's see how it goes with that. If too many peope start to complain about the "ws switcher button not working", we will maybe revert it.
