windows slow to appear and resize (2 seconds)

[michael mestre]

Binary package hint: compiz

With the ATI/Radeon and fglrx drivers and compiz installed, all the effects and acceleration work fine but windows are slow to appear and to be resized.

/The delay is one to two seconds and affects all windows/.
It affects newly appearing windows, those that are restored after having been minimized, and those that are are resized (afted the selection of the new size is complete).
There is no delay for minimizing windows nor for moving them.

This bug does not appear when the ATI proprietary drivers are not installed (which is equivalent to disabling Compiz I believe).
I witnessed this bug both with Gnome and with KDE.
