Bug Description

Fullscreen applications, I tried this with Stunt Rally 1.5, causes some weird issues with Unity.

First issue is the top bar being displayed and clickable on top of the fullscreen game (causing that area to not register). This is with Compiz Legacy Fullscreen support workaround on.

Second issue is that all non-maximized windows that were open are now positioned at the very top left under the top bar, which means I can't move them (can't select the title bar under the top bar) or close them. Sometimes if maximized they won't render properly (nautilus is just a blank white window). Closing and re-opening the window will restore it to normal.
