Bug Description

When I open a window, it may appear unselected even though it is active. In other cases, if I click away, the window stays selected. This only happens with certain windows and with Compiz instead of Metacity. I reinstalled completely just because of this and added some packages, rebooted, and the problem appeared AGAIN. Possible candidates are Armagetron Advanced, Supertux, Supertuxkart, Stellarium, ALSA Mixer, XPenguins and the applet, and CCSM. Indirect rendering makes no difference, but window border themes that would normally have window icons at left are unaffected. For example, ambiance titlebars are OK, but not Clearlooks, even if the buttons are actually at left.The actual theme used makes no difference, only the title bar style.

Perhaps, but as the problem disappears when you use Metacity, it's more likely a problem in compiz.
This bug also seems related to bug 666501.
