** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-utils Every time I use the dictionary applet and then close the little window containing the word definition, a frame shadow remains on the desktop. The shadow is only on the desktop and not on any window overlapping the certain area. For any needed information not provided please ask with a comment. + + Steps to reproduce: + 1)Install and enable compiz + 2)Add to your panel the "gnome-dictionary-applet" + 3)Close or minimize all the windows (we don't want anything overlapping the desktop surface) + 3)Type an English word in the applet's space and press enter + 4)Press esc to close the word-definition -window. + 5)Observe the shadow on your desktop where the applet window was.

(Not a solution, but maybe it helps somebody until we find a real solution) : --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1)Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager if you don't have it. 2)Open it from System->Preferences->CompizConfig Settings Manager 3)Find Window decoration and click it. (You can use the filter to save time) 4)Go to the last line where it says "Shadow windows" 5)CHANGE THE RESPECTIVE FIELD FROM "any" to "type=Normal" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This way you don't have the little annoying frame shadow on your desktop without losing your compiz effects.
