Disabling 'put left' and disabling tiling in compizconfig-settings-manager has no effect

[Eero Aaltonen]

I tried to disable "semi-maximize left" by installing compizconfig-settings-manager

First I tried to disable "put left" action.
Then I tried to disable "tiling" all together.

These seem to have no effect whatsoever.

This is apparently not so much a bug, but only things being different.

In Ubuntu 13.10, the "semi-maximize left" can be configured under *compizconfig-settings-manager*
 Desktop → General → 'Ubuntu Unity Plugin'
"Key to vertically maximize the focused window to the left"
