Title:
  Dragging Gimp's Toolbox to the edge of the screen expands it to half
  the screen (edge snap)

Status in Compiz:
  Fix Released
Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  gimp 2.6.11-2ubuntu2, compiz 1:0.9.5.0-0ubuntu3, unity 4.6.0-0ubuntu4,
  Ubuntu Ocelot

  1. Launch Gimp.
  2. Drag the Toolbox window to the edge of the screen, to take advantage of Fitts' Law.

  What happens:
  2a. The Toolbox window expands to cover half the screen.
  2b. The window's title bar is inaccessible off the top of the screen.

  What should happen:
  2a. Dragging a palette to the edge of the screen should never enlarge it.
  2b. When a window has a title bar, the title bar should always be accessible.

  For 2a, either Gimp is not setting the appropriate window type for the
  Toolbox, or Compiz is not smart enough about which window types it
  applies edge snap to, or both.
