Comment 21 for bug 974242

Just to echo the others: an hour of testing in, and I've nothing but joy to report. This patch makes Compiz/Gnome-Fallback usable. Things behave as you would expect: windows aren't jumping all over the place or getting stuck, and, per the other bug, the panel isn't getting in the way of fullscreen applications.

@monjurul@88 it's a bit hectic:

sudo apt-get build-dep compiz
sudo apt-get install devscripts
wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/974242/+attachment/3141645/+files/fix-974242.patch
apt-get source compiz
cd compiz* # you might want to replace the *
patch -p1 < ~/Desktop/fix-974242.patch
dpkg-source --commit
debuild -us -uc

That should dump a whole collection of debs in `..`. After that just install the ones you need with `dpkg -i`.

If you're using nvidia (pointedly the xorg-edgers PPA version) you might have problems compiling things that link to /usr/lib/libGL.so* so I just moved those files to my desktop, ran the `debuild -us -uc` command again and after that, moved the libGL files back.

The bigger question is, how do we go about nominating this patch for immediate inclusion in Ubuntu so people aren't forced to download half a gig just to compile this in?
