Binary package hint: compiz

If Firefox is running when Desktop Effects are enabled on my Dell Inspiron 6000 or my HP zd7000, Firefox becomes an unresponsive window with no window decorations. It's not possible to maximize, move it, or otherwise interact with it. Disabling Desktop Effects restores sanity.

I retest desktop-effects every couple weeks, and this problem persists. Since firefox is probably the single most important application used by most users, this problem pretty much guarantees no casual user will use Desktop Effects.

I realize this is a beta, and this will probably be fixed before RC, but wanted to make sure this simple but serious bug was in the issue tracker, since I didn't see any obvious duplicates, except for one rejected issue.
