Comment 4 for bug 1399781

Workaround for Linux Mint 17.3 MATE/Xfce is to check/enable Place Windows in ccsm when using top panel . [1]

Issue also effects `Ubuntu MATE 16.04 alpha2 (tested on 64-bit)´ though to reproduce uncheck/disable Place Windows. [2]

Xenial alpha2 packages:
ii compiz 1:0.9.12.2+16.04.20151211-0ubuntu1 all
ii mate-desktop 1.12.1-1 amd64

Examples of affected apps (Mint/Ubuntu):
caja, gnome-calculator, mate-display-properties, mate-terminal, pluma, …

Examples of not affected apps:
banshee, mate-control-center, vlc, …

[1] This workaround spawns another issue known as `mintMenu offset´ when using bottom panel instead:

[2] To reproduce first set distro defaults with Reset Compiz in mintdesktop vs. mate-tweak, then uncheck Place Windows in ccsm, finally restart the system to assure a mostly consistent behaviour => This results in having the `window title bar w/ buttons´ not accessible (or reverse if checked).
