It isn't compiz. Compiz is the compositing window manager that puts all the windows on the screen. Each gnome application will create one or more GTK windows and by default the resizeable property is set to true, gnome-control-center sets it's resizeable property to false because it sizes itself according to it's content rather than allowing the user to resize it. http://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/2.22/class-gtkwindow.html#method-gtkwindow--set-resizable Gnome-control-centre has many panes, the appearance pane is just one of them, you will see the window resize itself as you move between them. Ubiquity the installer also probably demands to set it's own dimensions, which is particularly annoying on the map page, but that is two separate issues, one in gnome-control-centre and one in ubiquity. Neither are a compiz issue, it is just doing what the applications ask it to do.

Start live cd - click desktop to change background to suitable colour. Facility to maximise window using Alt F8 has is greyed out - needs to re restored to meet accessibility standards - and should be working in the beta. This accessibility feature is present in 10.04.4 through to 11.10 (verified today) - and should still be present in 12.04. It should not have been removed or deprecated under Gnome shell/3 or Unity - or for testing purposes. Issue visible in screen print - attached. Issue affects multiple windows from Boot of live CD and through Install process and in installed system. Numerous people with visual and neurodiveristy disabilities need the ability to maximise these windows to allow concentration on single task with minimal image/background noise. Window sizes may be presented inline with branding guidelines - but they should retain accessibility feature for those who need it and require it. It is acceptable for maximise option to be greyed out provided alternate Alt F8 is available. Presently basic accessibility standards compromised.
