Title:
  Chromium fullscreen should be unredirected by default

Status in Compiz:
  New
Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The default Compiz settings cause Chromium to tear when fullscreen.
  See also: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=344141

  By default, "Unredirect Match" contains
  (any) & !(class=Totem) & !(class=MPlayer) & !(class=Vlc) & !(class=Plugin-container) & !(class=Firefox)

  This means that fullscreen Chromium videos bypass Compiz, causing them to tear (no V-sync).
  Firefox, Totem, VLC and MPlayer videos do not tear when fullscreen, because of the line above.

  Due to the popularity of the Chromium browser (and Chrome, now it has
  brought Netflix to Ubuntu), it should be added to the default Compiz
  settings, changing the line to

  (any) & !(class=Totem) & !(class=MPlayer) & !(class=Vlc) & !(class
  =Plugin-container) & !(class=Firefox) & !(class=Chromium)

  Most likely & !(class=^Google-chrome) should be added as well.

  It's very tedious to do this on each and every machine I install, and
  I would say that having both Firefox and Chromium be unredirected is a
  more sane default than just Firefox. Especially because Chromium is
  the only browser on Ubuntu with full MSE support and Chrome being the
  only way to use Netflix.
