Compiz zoom scary, enabled by default in Karmic RC

[Peteris Krisjanis]

Interesting is that you hit this only in Karmic, it was enabled
already in Jaunty.

I partly agree that it could be a usability issue (I was seriously
confused first time I hit this accidentally). Maybe some tip while
zooming (like 'use Windows key and and mouse scroll to zoom out' or
whatever) could help, because it is actually good feature when used
knowingly.

Cheers,
Peter.
