Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

The latest round of updates has completely stopped me from turning the
negative effect of compiz on. This seems linked to the exclude field in
the compiz config setting manager under the negative plug-in.  If i
remote the Type=Desktop  then it works again but does invert the
background.

Historically the background has not been inverted but the rest of the
menus and windows have. As it stands when trying to invert anything with
the default setting does nothing. Interestingly if you hover over a
shortcut but the system menu eg firefox and then invert you can see the
tooltip change to inverted.

I have played around with setting and have found that setting
type=Desktop again in the compiz manager then makes it behave as
expected inverting everything but the background.

Again this is an annoying but as i used negative all the time I can live
with the background being inverted but it does make ubuntu look very
cold and uninviting.
