Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I apologise for the cryptic title. I'll try to explain. I use the
"Classic" gnome-panels desktop with Compiz. Several applications provide
Notification area icons that if clicked will toggle the visibility of
the application (gwibber, banshee, liferea, etc).

When Compiz is used, each visibility cycle (from visible to invisible to
visible) moves the window to the right by 7px. I suggest that something
in the Window Manager is reporting or storing an incorrect z,y
coordinate.

This is constant for all applications that provide Notification Area
icons to toggle visibility. Standard minimising/maximising does not
illicit this bug. Things work as they should under Metacity, hence I'm
filing this against Compiz.
