Windows maximized via a double click on their title bars will register the next
mouse button pressed event even if they are not the "target".
Example 1 - Dragging the wrong window:
1.) Open Nautilus (make sure it's not maximized)
2.) Double click on the title bar to maximize it (don't use the window button)
3.) Start gnome-terminal and try to drag it around
4.) You should have dragged Nautilus instead
Example 2 - Closing/minimizing/restoring the wrong window:
1.) Open Nautilus and maximize it (using the window button)
2.) Open gnome-terminal and maximize it (using a double click on the title bar)
3.) Bring Nautilus to front (via Alt+Tab or the window list in the bottom panel)
4.) Click on Nautilus' close/minimize/restore button
5.) You should have closed/minimized/restored gnome-terminal instead
Of course it's not limited to those two programs.
This doesn't happen with compositing/compiz enabled.
