When using compiz (with either one of "animation" and "minimize" plugins enabled), during the unminimizing, unshading, and opening animation, some parts of the Firefox/Thunderbird window (especially toolbars, menus, and status bar) initially appear as a black rectangle (for a while).

This annoying bug is visible in Firefox 2.0.0.3, Firefox 3.0a4, and Thunderbird 1.5.0.10.

As explained by David Reveman, in these Mozilla applications the sync request protocol (_NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST in the EWMH spec) is apparently not supported as it should be.

The problem was discussed here on Compiz mailing list:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2007-April/001916.html

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install and run compiz
2. Make sure either "minimize" or "animation" plugins are enabled
3. Try shading/unshading and minimizing/unminimizing Firefox/Thunderbird windows.
Actual Results:
Black regions in Firefox/Thunderbird window during unshade/unminimize animations.

Expected Results:
The window contents should be fully ready and visible during unshade/unminimize animations.
