Bug Description

With compiz and window animations enabled, the detection of "menu windows" does not work for old applications. This causes a lot of old X applications (e.g. editres, xlsfonts) and motif-based applications (e.g. NEdit) to display menus with the wrong animation.

Enabling the qt_fix workaround fixed the issue for me with no noticable side-effects. So I propose to enable the qt_fix workaround in compiz by default.

This is with compiz-1:0.8.2-0ubuntu8 and nvidia-glx-180.44-0ubuntu1 on Jaunty.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the newest version of Ubuntu (12.04). If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists.

Thank you for your help and patience.
