Fullscreen blender + compiz under gnome-panel's

3) Blender should stay on top of everything, even gnome-panel's.

4) Opening blender in full screen mode, with Compiz enabled, makes Gnome-panels stay on top of blender. Moving the window with "Alt + Mouse 1" suggests the window size is correct, but underneath gnome-panels.
Changing to metacity does remove the bug.

Confirmed. This behavior existed in Jaunty as well.

Under Compiz's settings, going to "Workarounds" and ticking "Enable legacy Fullscreen Support" Fixes the problem.

This is a problem with Compiz.

Yes, the Legacy Fullscreen support directly affects both wine and other apps that don't fullscreen properly, so this is a dupe of bug 138508
