[regression-r3320] Animations and modules/plugins missing in Ubuntu 12.10 and 13.04

[Tanker Bob]

Original report:
================

Upon upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10 and setting compiz up with CCSM, I noticed that the animations like "Flame" are missing and there are no modules for Animations Add-on, Cube Deformation and Reflection, Cube Gears, Reflection and others. I rechecked to find that compiz-plugins-extra is installed, and even reinstalled it to be sure. All compiz components list as 9.8.4 in Synaptic. So, all compiz modules are installed, yet the extras do not appear to be loading or running. I attached an image of the the applicable CCSM panels.

Note:
=====

* Currently broken and excluded from compilation: animationaddon, bicubic, blur, colorfilter, group, loginout, reflex, stackswitch and trip

* Currently not working correctly (but enabled, compiled and available): td (3d windows for the cube)

* Also not working anymore: All the plugins from the unsupported package/Compiz git repo.
I will only list the most important ones here:

animationjc, extra-animations, simple animations - Great additional animations

screensaver - Uses the cube or flying windows as screensaver

atlantis - Cube Atlantis, a Compiz classic

Already fixed and available via current trunk:

+1 boo hoo, me too. It's understandable and probably best to not ship the breaky stuff. Frankly you'll have more headaches than satisfaction from these causing problems if they have any tendency to do that.

..but it sure would be nice to have all that purdy eye candy!

Patch for showmouse ( same bug/patch with firepaint, the two plugins share a lot of code ).

I uploaded a patch for firepaint in https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1048505

Sorry I chose the status "Invalid" but I don't know how else to mark this bug as duplicate of a dozen different bugs.

There are still several remaining plugins that have not been ported and are still listed for exclusion:

#NOT RELATED TO GLES
* Currently broken and excluded from compilation: animationaddon, bicubic, blur, colorfilter, group, loginout, reflex, stackswitch and trip

#ES2/GLES RELATED
* Currently broken and excluded from compilation: freewins, gears, td, colorfilter, mblur, bench, showrepaint, widget, thumbnail, wizard

As noted https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1069112/comments/7 - There are still a batch of plugins that generally need to be ported and not all of these are GLES related.
