Q:

How do I disable the default window restore animation?

Under Unity in Ubuntu 11.10, the default animation for restoring a minimised window is a kind of swooping zoom. What setting in CompizConfig Settings Manager do I need to change to disable this?

A:

It can be disabled using the CompizConfig Settings Manager, but that also disables the minimization effect.

Go to the Animations plugin,
Open the Minimize Animation tab, 
Double-click the Zoom entry in the Animation Selection list, and
Select None.

That's it, restore effect should be disabled.
