Please avoid discussing context about why you think your bug is important, 
discussion like this is not useful to the developers. If you need to 
escalate the priority of your bug there are proper channels for that.

Sounds like compiz isn't updating the view matrix for the window when it 
becomes maximzied (so the underlying X window is actually at the right 
place but the view isnt).

I commented on the bug report.

I plan to land a branch that will change the way this code works to make 
it less prone to strange race conditions which may land in a stable 
release update. You can track the progress here:
