I think it's probably easier to look at compiz-plugins-main history on
launchpad
(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~compiz-team/compiz-plugins-main/0.9.7/changes
or one of the others, or maybe
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~lbrulet-8/compiz-plugins-main/fix-876591/revision/21),
find the first offending commit, and revert it in the current package
source to rebuild the package.

note that i didn't say «easy» i said «easier». But anybody finding the
time to restore the cycling on left/right (whatever key si configured
to them) will have my gratitude.
