Bug Description

Dragging a maximized window title, until the screen becomes yellow, without leaving the panel area cause the window to decorate.

Desired Solution:
- When dragging a maximised window downwards using the top bar to move the window into restored state, the yellow effect should not be triggered.

The bug is partly fixed in lp:~3v1n0/unity/panelmenu-fixes basically this bug contains two different issues:

1) The compiz grid fullscreen effect shouldn't not be shown when dragging a maximized window from the panel
2) A fullscreen window get redecorated

1) is currently fixed in my branch using a workaround (since that mostly depends on compiz)
2) The fix is in progress, but is mostly caused by a race condition of X.
