Bug Description
version: Linux Mint 17 Quiana 64-bin
In Mate desktop with Desktop settings set to disable compositing, some applications, at least:
* Google Chrome with GPU acceleration enabled (default setting)
* glxgears
do not cooperate with the window manager.
How to reproduce:
1) disable compositing in Desktop settings
2) launch glxgears
3) maximize the window of glxgears
4) try to switch to another desktop, or minimize the window
What happened: the content of the window remains displayed, only window decoration disappears
What I expected to happen instead: the window should disappear
It happens always.
Please note that Chromium has a bug report for this https:/
but the problem is most probably not in Chromium, but in Ubuntu Trusty.
The problem has appeared after I have upgraded from Mint 16 to Mint 17, i.e. from Ubuntu Saucy to Trusty.
I have found a discussion /devtalk. nvidia. com/default/ topic/751552/ any-opengl- window- shown-on- all-workspaces- occludes- other-applicati ons/

where somebody from NVIDIA wrote:
"I reproduced the problem and filed bug 1525147 for tracking. However, it does look like this is a regression in the X server between version 1.14 and 1.15 so it might not be an NVIDIA driver bug."
