Bug Description

Illustration can be found here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/issues/553

In tiled state, the active CSD casts a show, while the active server-side decoration does it. Makes it hard to tell which window is active.

(Not sure if worth fixing, giving the fact that consistent shadows will never be possible anyway, if CSDs become the norm across toolkits).
