"that is how it looks with metacity too and autohide is not the common case."
That's the point of having compiz in the first place: it _isn't_ metacity! This is an added feature that compiz brings and metacity doesn't have. It seems such a shame to get rid of it for no good reason, when this is actually the way compiz is _supposed_ to work. "If that is the only problem you're having" There's one more thing that I've already alluded to. The idea behind compiz is to add some 3D realism to the desktop. To achieve this realism, things have to work the way they do in the real world. In particular, shadows have to work the way we expect them to. Imagine a tree standing in the sun. The whole tree is lit up but only part of the tree casts a shadow ... That's just not the way shadows work in the real world! It just doesn't feel right, and the very purpose of compiz is to make the desktop "feel right". -- Compiz patch broke gnome-panel shadows when auto-hidden panel slides out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421056 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
