[Bug 786332] [NEW] Window Rules from compiz breaks unity's panel and doesn't do its job

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Description:	Ubuntu 11.04
Release:	11.04

compiz:
  Installé : 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2
  Candidat : 1:0.9.4+bzr20110415-0ubuntu2

  Installé : 3.8.12-0ubuntu1
  Candidat : 3.8.12-0ubuntu1
 Table de version :
 *** 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 0

I expect to use the rule "below" to keep my window below all the other windows (I tried other rules that did not work either). To achieve that, I click on the green "Plus button", add the title of my window (yes, I am sure of the title) and click on "Add".
Then I click the check box to enable Window Rules.

But the window never stays below.
Worse, as soon as it is enabled, unity reloads (as if I did unity --replace) and I lose the display of the top panel. The behaviour of it is still there though (I can click on the iconswhich displays the menus below  even though I don't see them => I can shut down, restart or go to System settings by clicking on the top right corner, where the icon is supposed to be).

Thanks,
Etienne
