devel/2011-June/012766.html

I encountered it with Ubuntu Oneiric with unity-2D, unity-3D, Gnome and
Xfce4 using gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal and cairo-dock.

xterm is NOT concerned by this bug.

==Description==

Cairo-dock, gnome-terminal and xfce4-terminal are always drawn on top
(foreground) even if not selected when xrandr's desktop expansion and
window compositing are activated (tested with metacity, mutter and
xfwm4).

My GPU is an Intel i915.

X, intel GPU drivers and Mesa are the last versions found in Oneiric
repos.


==Example==

1) I set up a dual monitor configuration with xrandr (expended desktop, no bug in clone mode)
2) I launch firefox under xfce/gnome/unity.
3) I launch xfce4-terminal/gnome-terminal and put it "above" the google search bar in Firefox.
4) I focus on Firefox.

Result: the *-terminal is still drawn at the top but not accessible
anymore: when I click on the drawn terminal, Firefox is responding (I
can fill the google search bar).

The same behaviour was observed with cairo-dock.

==Workarounds==

- Disable compositing (not nice with cairo-docks)
- Disable xrandr or set it in "clone" mode
- Stop using *-terminal (xterm is ok) and cairo-dock.
