[compiz] [PATCH] plugin conflict resolution between Fade & Animation

Adding inter-plugin awareness is something we always wanted to avoid
IIRC. I have a different idea to resolve this conflict: Split fade.c to
fade.c (which does only the opacity/brightness/saturation change fading)
and fadewindow.c (which does the open/close/minimize fading). If we do
that, fadewindow and animation could both provide a feature
"windowfading" which would leave it up to the settings manager to
resolve that conflict.

Comments?
