Merge lp:~smspillaz/compiz-core/compiz-core.fix_936781 into lp:compiz-core

Check if the mutter key exists before using it

I thought the fallback draggable border width should come from the theme definition. Or is it not in the theme?

I think it would be cleaner to use the built-in error detection (last parameter)...
    new_width = gconf_client_get_int (client, MUTTER_DRAGGABLE_BORDER_WIDTH_KEY, &err);
instead of ignoring all the error codes ("NULL").

That would allow you to remove:
    if (gconf_client_dir_exists (client, "/apps/mutter/general", NULL))

I had a look a the gconf documentation while I was writing this and it wasn't exactly all that clear as to what conditions the error bit would be set. Gconf has some weird semantics with schemaless keys (which is why gsettings exists), and really what I care about is whether or not that option actually exists in the directory, or if gconf is going to give me some default value. As far as I could tell, all it does is give you a default value of zero, which isn't particularly useful.

The reason why I chose to use that API is because 1) that API is there and seems to serve the purpose of checking whether or not a particular key exists in the database and 2) There is no documentation as to when Gconf will return an error condition for a missing key.

Of course, if you can point to something to the contrary I'd be glad to use that.

Ooook, didrocks says the GError gets set in this case. Soooo lets change that :)
