Thanks for the pointer to libgksu, Sebastien.

Now that in karmic r600+ GPUs started to work with compiz I get to see this bug again every day. It's merly a cosmetic issue but very visible and looks annoyingly unfinished in the otherwise polished desktop.

Please consider adding the attached debdiff for libgksu2-0 2.0.12-1ubuntu4 to the package. The patch modifies 21_composited_rgba_addition.patch to not leave transparent borders if there is a window frame visible, i.e. if /apps/gksu/disable-grab is enabled in gconf. I haven't found the composite patch in upstream nor debian, so I hope launchpad is the right place to post it.

I've tried to keep the patch as unintrusive as possible but then had to shuffle things around to gain access to construction properties during ui creation. This makes the diff appear larger, but all changes still only apply to the ui portion of the code. Any and all feedback is very welcome.
