Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

9.10 - Karmic and compiz 1:0.8.2-0ubuntu16.

I think this patch

compiz (1:0.8.2-0ubuntu16) karmic; urgency=low

  [ Travis Watkins ]
  * debian/patches/015_draw_dock_shadows_on_desktop.patch:
    - change decoration plugin to draw dock shadows only on the
      desktop window instead of on top of all other windows

broke shadows functionality for gnome-panels. When an auto-hidden panel
slides out over an open window, the panel is indistinguishable from the
window it slides over, unless the panel is set to another colour. The
panel menus (Applications, Places, System) are simply piled on top of
the menus of the open window (File, Edit and so on) in bizarre fashion.
It's ugly and there's no visual clue that the panel menus aren't really
part of the open window.

I think this patch should be reverted and the problem with docks be
solved in a way that doesn't break functionality for gnome-panels.
