compiz negative is only in grey scale

[Steven Wagner]

Binary package hint: compiz

1) Set a window to be in negative with SUPER+N.
2) perform an operation in that window that causes the application to run slow and subsequently 'grey' the window temporarily.

After that point ALL windows on the system that are using the negative plugin will only be in grey scale.

Workaround: go into the compiz setting manager, disable and reenable the negative plugin. Will then work again correctly.
