Version details: xorg: 6.8.2

Hi,

I just activate composite on my machine and test it a little bit, and I found a
strange thing...
If you run xcompmgr (to activate shadow for example), open a window (eg a
terminal) and then maximize it, the window covers all the panels on the screen
(windows seems to float over the panels). Moreover if you kill xcompmgr the
problem stays.
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2005-08-24 15:15:42 UTC 
What is your window manager? Is it metacity?
Comment 2 Laurent Bigonville 2005-08-24 18:26:27 UTC 
Yes it's metacity.

This bug seems to be reported on the bugzilla of freedesktop
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1187) for a while...
Comment 3 Christian Kirbach 2005-09-10 15:43:56 UTC 
changing produce to metacity.
Comment 4 Christian Kirbach 2005-09-10 15:44:20 UTC 
reopening
Comment 5 Josh Lee 2005-11-19 23:54:33 UTC 
This is probably some weird interaction between xcompmgr and metacity. If you 
start xcompmgr, *then* restart metacity, the problem disappears.

See http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-October/010679.html for the
full details about this problem and the proposed solution.
Comment 7 Elijah Newren 2006-01-07 19:25:00 UTC 
I don't know if we're going to work around this in Metacity or just have X fix it according to Soeren's suggestions, but Soeren knows and it's composite related so I'll just reassign and let him deal with it.  ;-)
Comment 8 Soren Sandmann Pedersen 2006-01-16 18:07:28 UTC 
We will fix this in X.
