[spread] no window border (natty only)

[Felix Yan]

after selected "Unity 2D" and entered desktop, no window border is shown.
i have 2 open a tty and start metacity using "metacity -d 0.0"

and, when clicked the app icon in unity-2d-launcher twice to browse all running windows, no window border is shown either, with the following error logged:
DBUS: Received request to spread application windows of 98566833
Matched 1 Windows in 1 Applications

I had the problem using xorg and drivers from xorg-edgers's PPA, and now downgraded to the version in official repository, but the bug still exists.

Thanks for reporting the bug Felix.

Are the window borders shown in normal circumstances but disappear when you activate the "spread" by clicking on an application in the launcher?

[Felix Yan (felixonmars)]

yes that's exactly what i mean; sorry for my poor english

Thanks Felix. The solution for that issue already exists and will land in Natty soon. Technically it requires us to merge Maverick changes into the Natty branch.
