Minimize All Windows smoked my glass

[Phlip]

Binary package hint: compiz

Per this illustrious thread: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2008-June/003165.html

platform:

  - Linux heptones 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP
            Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
 - Sony Vaio VGN-FZ130E
 - Ubuntu 8.04
 - I don't know how to extract video chip or driver settings!

steps to reproduce:

 - warm up Kubuntu via KDE 3.0
 - turn on the Windows keystroke emulation
    [Keyboard & Mouse - System Settings ->
       Keyboard Shortcuts -> Shortcut Schemes ->
         Windows Scheme (With Win Key)]
 - sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
 - sudo aptitude install compiz-core
     (yesterday's versions ;)
 - tap <Graphic+M> to Minimize All Windows

observed behavior:

 - everything disappears except grey ghosts of the
     wallpaper and kicker.
 - After that, any input that should raise a window
     instead raises a dark rectangle with nothing painted
     into it. Clicking into this hits invisible buttons.

expected behavior:

 - The windows should minimize (via whatever melodramatic
     animations are necessary)
 - <Alt+Tab> should raise minimized windows

Did the Minimize All Windows simply surprise Compiz?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Could you try to reproduce the same with Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04? Thanks in advance.
