[compiz] [PATCH] Fade vs. Animation conflict resolution

Hello,

according to the fade description in compiz.schemas, this plugin is supposed to fade windows _only_ when being 
mapped/unmapped, isn't it? Actually, its "other effects" are quite annoying for me in combination with bs or widget 
plugins, fade is making them act much slowly than they were designed to. (On the other hand, I find very useful the 
fading when a window becomes irresponsive, which is holding me from switching from fade to animation.) Unfortunately, in 
the current fade architecture, solving this seems nearly impossible, or does anybody have any ideas?
