[Bug 1436553] Re: Transparent windows render black with Gtk3.16 and compiz

 

I was able to set it back to "new" as there is no "fix insufficient"
status.

Even logging into Launchpad is a nuisance because they use the referrer header that I
normally block as an anti-tracking measure. It has to be changed for this and then changed
back.
