Chrome fullscreen crashes Unity

[Taylor Raack]

The bug fix for unredirecting Chrome fullscreen mode in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1442728 is now out of date, as the Google Chrome's window class has changed at some point from "google-chrome" to "Google-chrome".

As a result, the fix in that bug no longer works in Xenial. I'm seeing regular Unity hangs when un-fullscreening, as reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1442728/comments/13.

I'm constantly having to log into a tty and reset the window system to recover from this.

It should be simple enough to change "google-chrome" to "Google-chrome" in compiz composite settings to fix this.

I am more than happy to contribute code patches to Compiz to fix this! Please let me know and I'll work on that.
