Menus don't work after changing themes.

[Jordan Clarke]

1) Linux Mint 11 RC 32-bit
2) Firstly, I clicked the "Show Desktop Button" to hide all open windows, which included Firefox and Software Manager. Secondly, I right-clicked the desktop and clicked "Change Desktop Background", and changed the desktop theme from "Mint-X-Metal" to "Shiki-Wise". Thirdly, I clicked on Software Manager, then closed it, and then reopened it through "mintMenu" (so as to refresh the icon set to change it from the Faenza icon theme to the one employed by the "Shiki-Wise" desktop theme). Lastly, I clicked on "File", "Edit", "View", and "Help" in Software Manager, "File", "Edit", etc. in Firefox, and the "mintMenu".
3) Each "File", "Edit", etc. option listed above failed to display any menus for further options, until the "Show Desktop Button" was clicked to once more hide all open windows, and each window then individually restored.
4) Each option should have displayed lists of further options.
5) This problem occurred every time any desktop theme was changed to a different one.

This is an upstream compiz problem in my opinion. It looks like it's a bug affecting the focus policy.

I forgot to add. As a workaround you can launch fusion-icons and use it to switch to Metacity.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. Compiz, in particular, is in heavy development and this bug may have been fixed in the development version of Ubuntu (12.04) if not on your current version. If you are able, it would be of great help if you could confirm if the bug still exists by testing a livecd (available at ubuntu.com). When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue. If you are unable to test the development version, please let us know if you are able to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 11.10.

Thank you for your help and patience.
