Short update and a correction for #73

When I used gconftool-2 as noted in #74 to double checked my config for "animations" I first thought when I re-enabled animations it was not really enabled - because there was no entry under above mentioned path /apps/compizconfig-1/profiles/unity/plugins/animation.

I disabled and re-enabled Animations again and even rebooted. Then I checked again with gconftool-2 for an entry at path /apps/compizconfig-1/profiles/unity/plugins/animation - but there was still none. However, I saw another white box short later, I think when I received a gmail notification in chromium, but I got a couple ones before already without white boxes. I disabled Animations in CCSM again afterwards and since then saw no white box anymore (yet, for some hours) - maybe the white boxes only stay away when I keep Animations disabled, or its just a red herring.

I still have "Animations" disabled because I want to see if I get another white window over night. For the while I browsed the gconf root and found that path /apps/compizconfig-1/profiles/Default/plugins/animation is populated (see below). Is it supposed to have a "Default" profile next to the "unity" one? I seems like its the same in the screenshot from #76 (no animations under "unity" but a "Default" entry) but not in the output from #74 where its under profile "unity" - so maybe not really relevant. Tibi - have you still disabled Animations with that config and does re-enabling it show white boxes again? You wrote "before the proposed fix was applied" - did you have white boxes before or was it fine, maybe because after you re-installed the packages your "Default" profile got purged away?
