Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

I have several issues with compiz under Ubuntu Classic, what I attribute to be Unity bugs.

Often, the screen flickers for a short time, for instance, when the software updater window appears. Then, grabbing a window to move it actually often moves a different window. As a workaround, I run metacity --replace, which reveals formerly (under compiz) invisible windows by unity-window-decorator in the gnome-panel that I can then close.

To me, this whole Unity-patching of Compiz is a bit premature as these issues are new in natty and haven't been in maverick. Tagging regression-release.
