Interesting. I've been noticing this with any old window in general (I
don't use the widgets layer, I hardly know what it is). Any time I hide
and then show a window, it climbs up the screen by one title bar height,
until it hits the top. Then it stops. By hide/show, I mean make the
window completely disappear using some sort of toggling built into the
app, not just minimize/restore. This upward movement happens in compiz,
but not in metacity. This was especially annoying me in audacious (see
bug report at http://jira.atheme.org/browse/AUDPLUG-301). As mentioned
in the above comments, I've also discovered that if I disable
audacious's title bar by switching it to the classic winamp GUI mode,
the upward movement disappears. I've confirmed the same problem in my
own custom qt app.

I'm running amd64 maverick, which was upgraded from lucid. I suspect
this problem began after upgrading to maverick. I'm using the latest
nvidia binary driver from the repos. I have my panel at the bottom of
the screen.

I can't replicate this problem on other maverick machines running
compiz. I suspect I have some strange setting somewhere that might be
causing this problem, and I bet it's related to everyone's problem here
regarding the widgets layer. In other words, this may not be so much a
bug as a misconfiguration. I've tried disabling the "Place windows"
plugin in CCSM, with no luck (it always automatically re-enables
itself). For audacious, I now simply force it to always be at the bottom
right, but that's not a solution.

Any ideas where this misconfiguration might be occurring? Is there an
easy way to reset all compiz setting, like perhaps deleting some config
file or folder, or completely reinstalling all compiz packages?

Also, bug #574856 and bug #631664 seem related.
