The change was specific to the Unity plugin itself, but my point is,
there is this half-done (even though it's a good start) feature that got merged in,
but then these much needed performance improvements get postponed.
It's little confusing to me, a passionate user and promoter of Ubuntu.
(I wished I had enough time digging into C++ and compositors to little more to help out, but I'm just a stupid managed code developer ^^)
But as i can see, Andrea already took care of that bug. :)
