  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Work done by Sam Spilsbury: - Ensure that the frame region is always
    set as soon as the window is decorated. - Further ensure that the
    window decoration isn't needlessly reset if the window already had
    one. - Refactored XShape usage into a common function. - Added tests
    to verify the behaviour of shape set on initially creating a
    decorated window and also upon changing the input frame window
    shape. (LP: #1158267)
  * Alt-Tabbing or Launcher selecting a window that is over 50% in a
    different viewport should not switch the viewport nor change the
    placement of the window. The fix is to add an option to turn this
    behavior on or off. By default, the option is on, but Ubuntu is
    patched to turn it off to fix this bug. (LP: #1092323)

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * debian/patches/ubuntu-config.patch: remove grid custom keybindings
    for window management We handle these directly in unity. (LP:
    #992697)

Bug description:
  The "Ctrl + Alt + numpad 4" and "Ctrl + Alt + numpad 6" keyboard
  shortcuts are not working in 13.04.

  See bug #878820 for the full specification of the numpad window
  placement shortcuts. Quoting from this bug:

  "Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 4 - Place window on the left side of the screen in
  *semi-maximised* state (it is important that the window is actually
  semi-maximised, not just the same size and position as a semi-
  maximised window) Pressing a second time does nothing.

  Ctrl-Alt-Numpad 6 - Place window on the right side of the screen (it
  is important that the window is actually semi-maximised, not just the
  same size and position as a semi-maximised window). Pressing a second
  time does nothing."

  HOWTO:

  The solution we want here are additional shortcuts to semi-maximize
  windows vertically and move them to left/right half of the screen...

  The best way to achieve that:

  1. Remove the changing of the standard shortcuts by debian/patches/ubuntu-config.patch, so the original ones will work again.
  2. Add 2 quasi-duplicated shortcuts with the functions to semi-maximize windows vertically and move them to left/right half of the screen to Grid and make those functions use "Ctrl + Super + Cursor Left or Right" on Ubuntu.
