Disable New Window Animations in Lion

New windows in Lion have an animation, by default. With older systems, this can cause issues in other applications and disabling the feature (as cool as it may be) can help to remediate that problem. To do so:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool NO

To then turn them back on:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool YES
