In the newest release, 10.04 (Lucid Lynx), I notice this issue when
hiding and unhiding the GIMP Toolbox by pressing the TAB key. A way to
work around the issue with the GIMP Toolbox is to tell compiz to always
place the window in a fixed position:

1. In the CompizConfig Settings Manager, go to Place Windows (in the
Window Management section) and click on the Fixed Window Placement tab.

2. In the "Windows and fixed positions" box, click on New. An Edit
window will pop up.

3. In the Edit window, enter title=Toolbox in the "Position windows"
box. Then enter 0 for both the X and Y positions. Finally, put a check
mark in the box for "Keep In Workarea" (otherwise, the Toolbox window
will always be off the screen.
