impossible to access celestia menu with compiz enabled

[phcoder]

Binary package hint: celestia-gnome

When I try to use a menu in celestia-gnome with compiz enabled the window gets orange with diagonal stripes and menu dissapears. My graphics card:

This also happens in Celestia-KDE when running KDE 4 with desktop effects enabled.

With desktop effects enabled, the Celestia window repaints itself (or at least the actual space view) over all foreground objects including Celestia's own menus, popups, any other applications running, etc.

Hello I have the same problem with Ubuntu 8.04, without desktop effects, the celestia menu and popups always disapear under the celestia window...

correction: without desktop effects it is OK

Problem persists with Compiz and Metacity Composite. Metacity w/o composite works fine, but then a lot of other stuff, like Gnome-Do, won't work. Is a solution ´coming up? Unfortunately I'm no programmer myself...

I have a similar problem here with Ubuntu Jaunty 64bit, Intel GM45 and "Visual Effect" set to normal (so I guess using Compiz). Here are some information about my system configuration:

I have the same problem on jaunty 64 bit. I'm using metacity. NO visual effects. Compiz is installed but not in use (I suppose). Please tell me, what further information you would need.

Enabling uxa seems to help with this problem
