I can't reproduce this bug but it sounds like bug 886192.

Also I'm a bit concerned about your panel shadow... unless you've been experimenting with code and can explain that? :)

the linked branch sounds like it fixed the bug but I am not sure if we have this code in oneiric or not.

The fix for this bug is invalid and was removed a while ago because it is dead code. If you look carefully you'll see the new code introduced is not connected to the existing logic in any way. It does nothing. However no one noticed till we upgraded to a compiler that warned us.

Discussion about the problem continues in bug 201681.
