Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz-gnome

There's a known bug with the gtk-window-decorator on intel chips and ATI cards with the open radeon driver, where you get white boarders instead of shadows around the panel, panel menus and context menus.

This bug can be prevented when increasing the shadow radius to 8.5000 or 9.0000
So the default setting should be changed to something like this.

I already reported this upstream some time ago: http://bugs.opencompositing.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465
But since this bug has to be resolved by the developers of the drivers, distributions have to take care of "obscuring" this for now.
