Implement sane defaults for compton-conf

[agaida]

The current defaults render the desktop nearly unusable - i would suggest to use the built in defaults of compton.

Unfortunately there is no way to export the buitin settings, so that means reading the conde (afaik).

What do you mean with nearly unusable? Do you mean, for example, transparent menus?
That is what I find unusable.

If you start compton without a configuration file, you get no effect at all.
Try it for yourself compton --dbus --config /dev/null
So I think built-in defaults come from the compton.sample.conf file in the root directory. This file is not significantly different from the compton.example.conf file from compton-conf.

IMO, if there is still interest, we should discuss sane defaults in public.
But I would be happy if at least my open pull requests were merged :-)

@ska67 - you are right, the default values in compton-conf seems to be from the sample file. And i would prefer the defaults equal to compton without a configuration file - thats all.

EDIT: compton lacks several things - one of these things is that it is not possible to dump the current configuration. Ok, i say nothing about bitrot and that the project is dead in the sense of dead*. The only activity for years is that some people say how great compton is and how they like it - but no one stand up, merge some things nor fix some of the bugs. If i could i would drop compton-conf - but as long compton live as a zombie in distributions there is no reason to do so.
