[ Eleni Maria Stea ]
* PanelView: Don't draw it if the geo doesn't intersect the monitor
geo (as in ezoom)
* speeds up the showdesktop plugin in lowgfx mode
[ Andrea Azzarone ]
* Add whitelist for auto-repated keys. (LP: #1586491)
* Fix scale window activation if in show desktop mode. (LP: #1582056)
* Order matters in the rendering. Draw launcher shadow after the
background in all cases. (LP: #1586374)
* Fallback to volume name if no other identifier is available. (LP:
#1103593)
* Do not trigger screensaver on session inactive. (LP: #1587507)
* Use SwitcherController::SetDetail instead of detail=... (LP:
#1587618)
* UnitySettings: Add an option to enable/disable pam account checking.
(LP: #1460649)
* Lockscreen: Make sure warning and errors are properly shown to the
user (LP: #1593696)

This is needed to properly call SyncGeometries and to avoid problems

instead of crashing
* ApplicationLauncherIcon: ensure quirks are properly set on icon
initialization
* Views: Toggle animators durations based on low-gfx setting (LP:

Bug description:
[Impact]
When unity is in Low graphics mode (because of software rendering)
there are still window animations and fade effects which we should get
rid of.
[Test case]
This should apply naturally to a (virtual-)machine with no hardware
acceleration or There are multiple ways to force low-gfx mode:
1) Add an upstart job such as:
cat << EOF > ~/.config/upstart/lowgfx.conf
start on starting unity7
pre-start script
#initctl set-env --global UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1
initctl set-env --global LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
end script
EOF
2) Run unity with:
COMPIZ_CONFIG_PROFILE=ubuntu-lowgfx
On login unity should use opaque views (dash, switcher, launcher,
shortcut-dialogs) with no fading and reduced effects. Windows should
also use smaller shadows.
[Regression potential]
Some settings from unity-control-center couldn't be applied to normal
profile. Low graphics mode might be used as normal one.
