Some of the input fields are blank in CompizConfig Settings Manager

[Alexey Kulik]

[Impact]

Users trying to use Compiz Config Settings Manager (CCSM) cannot see some of the fields' values. Also, due to this issue, some values will automatically reset to a value not set by the user.

This can cause much user frustration when trying to set values in CCSM and can cause behaviors not intended by the user.

[Test Case]

To reproduce:
* Open CCSM by either typing "ccsm" in the command line or finding it in the Dash.
* Browse different settings and notice some of the values are missing in the input boxes. For example, General Options->Edge Trigger Delay is blank.

[Regression Potential]

None identified.

Original Description:

Input fields of some of the parameters in CompizConfig Settings Manager are blank. It is possible to modify them by typing a value or by pressing up/down buttons next to the input field. But leaving the particular plugin and returning back leads to the input fields being blank again.

I confirm that the bug has been fixed.

  * Fix gnome-flashback session starting Unity plugins. Change the
    profile back after processing settings upgrades. When changing
    profile, discard existing GSettings wrappers pointing to the old
    profile. (LP: #1232299)

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Remove the Number of Desktops option in CCSM as this option confuses
    Compiz and is really no longer needed since the Horizontal/Vertical
    Virtual Desktop Size is what is used for determining the size. (LP:
    #1289820)
  * Due to some change in Gtk SpinButton, setting the initial value in
    Adjustment does not work for integers, so now just explicitly set
    the value after the SpinButton is created. (LP: #1294341)

I suppose this was not back ported to 13.10, correct?
