sorry for the late review. It didn't end in my review board inbox :-(

I think it's conceptually wrong to have a no wobble option in an effect \
which is called wobbly windows. If one doesn't want wobbly windows one can \
just disable the effect. I understand what you want to achieve but adding \
it here makes the effect significantly more complex and adds a very obscure \
feature to the effect. I doubt that any users would find this feature and \
thus it would be a solution just for your private use case. We try to not \
go this road.

I thank you for this contribution and hope that you understand my reasoning \
why I don't want this in wobbly windows. Please excuse again the long time \
for the review.

to wobble the window (i.e. not change its shape).

This results in two things:
1) Have a very smooth movement of windows that can be customized
2) Have a nice effect when resizing a window (is resizing is enabled)

It does this by adding the noWobble attribute to the effect and then using \
that attribute to disable a subset of the functionality. It also adds an \
additional wobbliness level: shifts levels 0-4 to 1-5 and makes 0 the level \
without wobbliness.</pre>  </td>
