If that happens with more apps then please post apps that is affected. Does
it happens always?

That is because in Ubuntu nautilus is responsible for background. What you
see is just login screen image used as background in Metacity. In older
Metacity releases you would see just gray screen...

You can enable background in gnome-flashback module:
gsettings set org.gnome.gnome-flashback desktop-background true

But still it might not work good enough. :(

Does it include also panels? Or only "normal" windows?
