This bug affects me as well. I have tried the r3659 build without success. I can reproduce on a fresh-created user by doing the following:

1. Run ccsm and disable the Unity plugin
2. Run a program and maximize it. Close the program.
3. Re-open the program, so that it opens in maximized state.
4. Try to click anywhere on the title bar. All clicks on the window's title bar are passed through to the whatever is directly beneath. This includes clicks for to the close button. Unfortunately this means I end up closing the wrong window quite often.

As others have mentioned, un-maximize and re-maximize the window through a panel of any sort (XFCE, AWN, whatever), and then clicks to the title bar are handled correctly.

I am attaching a tarball containing the following files:

1. compiz_debug_normal_works.txt : compiz debug output when launching a window in normal state
2. xwininfo_normal_works.txt : xwininfo -all output for a window launched in normal state
3. compiz_debug_maximized_broken.txt : compiz debug output when launching a window in maximized state (after a maximize, close, and reopen)
4. xwininfo_maximized_broken.txt : xwininfo -all output for a window launched in maximized state (maximize, close, reopen)

The window used here is Chrome, but it occurs for me with any program I have tested (Evolution, Firefox, Virtualbox, Nautilus, etc.)

I would be happy to test any additional patches, builds, or debugging steps. This is definitely one of those nuisance types of bugs.
