050_stacking.patch breaks stacking of splash windows

[Chris Halse Rogers]

Binary package hint: compiz

The recent addition of the 050_stacking.patch to close bug 333284 has broken the stacking of splash windows. Now rather than being on the top of the z-order, they're top-1. This can easily be reproduced by starting monodevelop with a window half-over the middle of the screen. More problematically, it also affects the non-docky interfaces of gnome-do, which are splash windows that take pointer & keyboard grabs.

I've verified that the patch is the culprit by disabling it and rebuilding the compiz package; the bug no longer appears. I've had a look at the patch, but it's one line and there's nothing obviously wrong there.

I am experiencing the same problem on Jaunty Beta 32bits . In particular with Gnome-Do.
