Bug Description

On CompizConfig for the Expo Plugin, when I try to use different Expo Animation under Behaviour tab other than Zoom animation I get a black screened Exposé view. I still see the Animation take place before the Exposé view turns black, and I'm still able to switch work spaces without being able to see what's on them until I switch to it. However when it's on Zoom animation, it functions normally and I can see all the Workspaces Exposé displays.

Exposé Views tested:
Zoom = Normal
Fade + Zoom = Black Screen
Vortex = Black Screen
