Hi there,

I ran across this problem as well, the problem comes from Java which
keeps a list of hardcoded Window Managers, who knows why. It also
makes impossible to use menus (the mouse click being ignored)

To fix this problem you need to fool java about your true WM

$> wmname compiz

The wmname tool is available at http://tools.suckless.org/wmname

This fixed the problem for me, and hopefully it'll works for you.
