ugly bars around the screen

[Bogdan Butnaru]

Binary package hint: compiz

I just installed Maverick, to get a chance to test it before release.

The most visible difference is that there are very ugly bars around my desktop. They are a couple of pixels wide, the left pixel e0d9d0 and the right one f5f2ef in color (the same order on either side). I have panels both on the top and the bottom, but moving one of them showed a similar bar “behind” it.

They’re very distracting, especially since my desktop (and the border of my monitor) are much darker. They weren’t there just before the upgrade.
