That patch is funny. It would be nice to track that issue down. Have you
checked that it's not just a width that is power-of-two that's causing
problems?

I'd like to include this patch. Can you separate the terminal and
desktop bindings into different patches?

btw, we should move the viewport changing actions to the core as well.

It’s add a new keybinding plugin which when compiz is started update its keybindings with those of metacity, and when compiz is launched, it’ll update compiz keybindings when gnome keybindings are updated and vice versa. You can add full gnome keybindings support with this control center patch : http://gandalfn.club.fr/ubuntu/gnome-patch/36-compiz-keybindings-support.patch

The keybinding bridge plugin is useful, do you want me to create a git
repo on git.compiz.org for it?

We should add full focus prevention support to compiz but I guess this
might be the most useful part of it so I'm OK with including it now.

I don't think I understand exactly what this patch fixes. Could you
describe a use case which is causing problems without this patch
applied?

I assume that you're the author of all these patches and you're OK with
me including the ones I'm interested in upstream. Let me know if that's
not the case.

Thanks,
