Bug Description

Every time I maximize or snap a window to an edge of the screen, it seems like compiz ends up accidentally assigning it to more than one desktop.

So, if I have the default 4 desktops and I maximize in desktop 1, the window shows up in desktop 2 and 3 because the shadow around the edge spills over to the other desktops.

This is annoying and it seems like compiz isn't clipping windows to the right desktop based on the one they're maximized in. Instead, it's calculating membership of desktop based on whether the window happens to be rendering pixels in it.

This can create some VERY confusing situations where the desktop experience just feels totally broken.
