Public bug reported:

Using compiz with xfce4-panel.

I can only unminimize windows from a single application. For example, I
minimize all windows. Now I can unmaximize an unlimted number of gnome-
terminal windows, but if I want to unminimize synaptic, I must minimize
all gnome-terminal windows first. I can then unminimize as many synaptic
windows as I want, but no others until I minimize all synaptic windows.
See video if this isn't clear:

Any further attempts to unminimize windows are ignored by compiz. You
can tell they are ignored because xfce4-panel begins to flash the
taskbar items to notify the user that the window wants to do something
but the window manager isn't allowing it.

If I open new windows (by running the program again) the taskbar items
will raise the window to the front as long as it has not been previously
minimized

Neither restarting compiz (ie compiz --replace) nor xfce4-panel (killall
xfce4-panel && xfce4-panel) cleared the error.
