I just installed Unity 7.0.0daily13.06.19~13.04-0ubuntu1 and this does not really fix the bug. Instead of the panel shadow being drawn continously above fullscreen apps like Totem when notifictions or right click menu's appear, it now flashes not only the shadow but the sidebar as well.

So not only have you people been sitting on this supposed fix for months, it doesn't even really fix the issue of Compiz drawing crap above fullscreen apps, especially video players. Frankly this is just ridiculous that it took you people months to affectively fix nothing. Maybe if someone had released this fix earlier like was asked repeatedly by many users in the original bug report (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1170958) we wouldn't have to wait even more months to get a fix for this broken fix.

Does no one working on this care that three months have now been wasted waiting for a fix that doesn't even fix the core issue? Three months out of a short nine month life span of this release and fullscreen videos are still broken. There are computers being sold with this particular release and frankly you devs should be ashamed to have your name attatched to it. There is no excuse for bugs like this anymore. How long have all of you been working on Compiz and Unity and you still can not get it to work? Now you want everyone to beleive you are all going to get a whole display server working in time for the next LTS with it being default in the next release in a couple months. You had years just to get your DE working and you can't even do that.
