Bug Description
The patch in 0.8.6-0ubuntu8 for this bug was wrong, and resulted in inactive window frames becoming _completely_ transparent, because /apps/gwd/
[ORIGINAL REPORT:]
Binary package hint: compiz
The design team decided to move the shadow 4 pixels down, in order to reduce the shadow between menubaritems and the menu frame.
At the same time we want to get rid of the transparency on the unfocused window frame.

Hello guys /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ compiz/ +bug/634417
https:/
As described in the bug report above, we (design team) decided to change two default options for package compiz. Essentially:
1) the inactive window decorations are no longer transparent (that should not affect any doc, neither sshots)
2) we shifted the shadow down by 4 pixels. The rationale behind this is that the shadow over the menubar item when a menu was opened (the shadow of the menu over the menubar item) was ruining the "merged/blended" appearance of the menu/menubaritem in the new Ambiance/Radiance themes: if you move the shadow down by 4 pixels the shadow disappears almost, and the menubaritem looks like it is part of the menu (something we decided).
That decision was taken in July, but it's our fault because nobody took care of patching compiz, so I did it personally two weeks ago, after UI freeze (didn't have time before). Sorry. www.cimitan. com
