Actions on screen edges don't work when windows touch edges

[dfalk]

I have actions bound to clicks on screen edges (right and middle button actions). They will work so long as there is not a window where I'm trying to perform the action. If there is a window that is touching the edge, that straddles the edge, or is maximized, then any actions I try to perform happen to the window instead of performing the compiz action.

For example if Firefox is maximized, and I have a right-click action defined for the left edge, the right-clicking the left edge just brings up the Firefox context menu.

Note that the gnome panels don't seem to affect this. I have a panel at the top, and if I attach an action to the top edge, it works despite the panel being there.

This seems to be the flip side of bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/103306 ...I think it should work such that actions for which nothing is defined will be passed along as inputs to the window, but swallowed up by compiz otherwise.

This appears to be different from the description of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/367740 and not a duplicate from what I can tell (though I don't experience the problem in that bug report).
