Comment 52 for bug 697358

This bug affects me. The only workaround that works for me is the changing-background one. Something else to add that no one else seems to have noticed: The window buttons automatically rearrange themselves in order of activity - if you use a window more, its button moves rightwards in the list. This is not caused by a Compiz plugin - I disabled plugins in turn and still experienced the behaviour. As a side note, the trigger for the workaround stopping working is the buttons rearranging themselves...
