Title:
  PluginClassHandler::get implicity causes plugins to be loaded

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Its possible to unintentionally load plugins by calling
  PluginClassHandler::get . This is because ::get auto-creates the class
  indexes on the first call in order to avoid a race condition. This
  means that loading basic plugins like move, resize and decor which
  have optional dependencies on composite and opengl, and detect whether
  or not they are loaded by calling ::get on CompositeScreen /
  OpenGLScreen will implicitly load those plugins.
