[dbus] Plugin and option metadata not available via dbus plugin

[Sami Jaktholm]

It's not possible to get plugin and option metadata (descriptions) since compiz 0.9 port.

Plugins and options no more carry their descriptions with them so we probably need to tap into libcompizconfig to get that information.

Other problems noted in bug 749084 are fixed once lp:~sjakthol/compiz/fix-749084 lands.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[dino99 (9d9)]

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.

[Stephen M. Webb (bregma)]

This is certainly not an invalid bug in Compiz: it still needs to be fixed.
