Fix issue where having a maximized window on a second monitor, then that monitor gets removed which moves the maximized window to the main monitor, then restoring the maximized window would place it on a different viewport. It should stay on the same viewport. This is a backport of lp:compiz r3845.

Bug #763148: Adding/Removing an external monitor causes open windows to move to another workspace

3135. By Matthias Alles on 2013-04-15

Prevent windows from maximizing on the wrong monitor (LP: #751605)

  This fixes two causes I have found:
    1. outputDeviceForGeometry was wrapping to the wrong monitor (back to the
       top or left) if a window was mostly off the bottom/right of the screen.
    2. Even when outputDeviceForGeometry returned the correct output,
       PrivateWindow::addWindowSizeChanges was sometimes changing it to an
       incorrect output in the case where the old size of a window exceeds
       the dimensions of the smaller monitor you're trying to maximize it on.

Bug #751605: Multi-monitor - Windows maximize on the wrong monitor

3134. By Daniel van Vugt on 2013-01-03

Avoid calling code that results in calls to regexec as much as possible.
Regular expression matching is too expensive to do very often and compiz
was spending 31% of its CPU time in regexec().

Unredirect Fullscreen Windows = ON. It's safe enough now.

Bug #1063690: Unredirect fullscreen windows should be the default for optimal performance

3130. By Daniel van Vugt on 2012-12-13

Add a feature for blacklisting certain graphics drivers from being able to
unredirect fullscreen windows. Right now the only known broken drivers are
nouveau and intel on precise (Mesa 8.0). But the blacklist is a regex that
can be adjusted at any time.

Add Firefox to the unredirect exceptions. (LP: #1086337)

3128. By Daniel van Vugt on 2012-12-12

Add an option to specify which windows are allowed to be unredirected when
they are fullscreen. Default: Allow unredirection on all window types except
common video players: Totem, MPlayer, Vlc or Plugin-container (Flash or other
nested browser windows).
