Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

Every time I open gwibber or empathy they get positioned a few pixel rightwards.
The windows start to move out of my workspace.

I have attached a video that demonstrates the problem very well.
Other windows are possibly also affected by that strange behavior.

I can confirm this issue. This always happens for my empathy window.

Really annoying is that the workspace is not switched properly when the window is overlapping two workspaces.
95% of the empathy window is on workspace 1, the other 5% are on workspace 2. Normally the workspace is switched automatically, if you bring a window to the foreground (and it's on a different workspace at the moment).

The workspace is not switched, if a small part of the window still is on the same workspace (this would be the 5% of the empathy window on workspace 2 situation)!

Confirm this bug, but not only with gwibber or empathy. When I open Nautilus window from GNOME Places menu, then close it and open again, it also appears a few pixel rightwards.
