Bug Description
The Gnome-Shell activities view shows a solid black background while using fglrx in raring. I have found that this solid black background is only when you have "file manager handle the desktop" enabled. If you turn off the file manager handling the desktop, you can then see the background image in the activities view.

cairo produces a black background (overriding the gnome wallpaper) in the Activities overview in gnome-shell using the proprietary AMD Catalyst fglrx driver.
System information:
Arch Linux, kernel 3.6.4-1
X.Org X Server 1.13.0
cairo 1.12.6-2
gnome-shell 3.6.1
GPU AMD Radeon HD 6450 running catalyst-utils 12.9-0.1
Workarounds:
- Rolling back to cairo 1.12.2-3 fixes the problem using the AMD Catalyst driver.
- Bug can not be reproduced using cairo 1.12.6-2 with the open-source ati driver (1:6.14.6-2).
