This is a small thing, but I can't find where to set it. I frequently put Ubuntu on older computers and when the OS is doing something frequently the window will fade like it is frozen (but it's not) before it gets done (seems like it is set for 500ms or so). I want to change the time to fade (so to speak) so it is longer and won't confuse the user. These do have Compiz on it so I can use the settings manager to set it. I just can't find what it is called.
