Bug Description
Rewriting the description per the requirements listed at https:/
AllTray does not interact with windows in “click-mode” when Compiz is the active window manager for the system. In other words, when using Compiz as the window manager, one cannot dock already-running applications to the system tray/notification area by starting AllTray and then clicking on the application's window.
The cause of this issue was lack of special-case handling for Compiz within the AllTray code. Specifically, it would appear that AllTray must treat Compiz one way for one code path, and another way for the other one. The debdiff attached to this bug provides code that does this. There was another fix supplied for this bug previously, but given the fragility of the AllTray code base, it conflicted with another patch and the situation had to be resolved again---which is what this patch does.
TEST CASE:
* Run Ubuntu Gutsy or Hardy using the available version of AllTray.
* Install AllTray.
* Activate Desktop Effects.
* Start a program (I use gcalctool as my “test” program)
* Start AllTray with no command line parameters. It will prompt you to click on a window that you want to dock.
* Click on your test program and find that the thing doesn’t work.
Given the (relative) triviality surrounding the patch, I believe that there is little to no chance of regression potential. This patch has been tested and I have been actively using it in Hardy for some time now, without any functionality removed from the AllTray package or the introduction of any new bugs within it.
A note: This is not a security patch. It is only a bug-fix.
The debdiff attached to this bug is against the currently released version in Hardy (0.69-1ubuntu1). It will result in 0.69-1ubuntu2, which should be uploaded to hardy-proposed as per the https:/

I can confirm this bug. I just can click "Cancel". Deactivating "Desktop Effects" all works again.
