Expo saturation setting causes desktops to disappear

[mmomjian]

I'm running compiz 0.7.4 and using the Expo plugin. I've noticed that when the "Inactive Viewport Saturation" in the Expo settings panel is set to less than 100, you get what I have in the attached screenshot; all the wallpapers, and the selected desktop's applications, appear fine; however, all apps on other desktops are black.

When I set "Inactive Viewport Saturation" to 100, it works fine.

Here's the output of fglrxinfo:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY FireGL V5250
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1.7412 FireGL Release)

Ubuntu version is 8.04.1
