Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, nvidia driver, using smspillaz PPA (compiz 9.2.1). My resolution is 1280x800.

Windows location is not kept correctly when leaving full screen mode.

To reproduce:
1. Start totem / chromium / evince / whatever.
2. Press F11 to go full screen.
3. Press F11 again to leave full screen.

Expected result:
Window is restored to its original location.

Actual result:
Window is restored about 200 pixels above its prior location. Repeating this process enough times makes the window unreachable, as it disappears above the screen.
