screenshot of corrupted area

Causing a very wide window to be created using (for example) the
following command:

> nautilus `python -c "print 'A' * 1000"`

(creates an error window with a line of 1000 A's) - very wide)

will lead to:

a.) The window 'crashing' (window disappears)
b.) The area where the window was to become 'corrupt', in this case meaning that other windows which are dragged through this area leave a trail there (screenshot attached)

This happens on Ubuntu 11.04 for me specifically.

Compiz 0.9.4.0
