Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.30.1-2
Severity: important
After latest dist-upgrade, when enabling a second monitor via randr and
Xinerama, windows, menus and pop-up elements has their shadow displayed
above the window contents, rendering the content hard to see.
Successive windows add their respective shadows "at the top" of all the
windows.
I believe the problem lies with the built-in compositor. Disabling it via
gconftool-2 --toggle /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager returns
the usability by getting rid of the shadows.
This was working perfectly with the previous version.
