Invest applet leaves border on desktop background

[Tomas Cassidy]

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

When I click on the Invest applet, it shows the information from the applet in a popup window over the desktop coming down from the applet icon. When I click again on the applet icon to hide the popup, the popup disappears but leaves a border on the desktop background where the popup was. The border disappears when removing the Invest applet. If the applet is moved to a different location on the panel and is clicked, the border will disappear and reappear in the new location of the applet.

A screenshot of the border showing is attached.

I found an issue with the window hint in the investment list window. For an unknown reason when using the WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_DOCK hint the window manager leaves a frame shadow after the investment list window is closed. Changing the hint to WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_TOOLBAR resolves this issue.

This bug is not related to the invest applet in particular, but to the compiz package. This problem has been fixed there. See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601805
