Follow up: Just came across this on Checkgmail's website http://checkgmail.sourceforge.net/:
CheckGmail and XGL/Compiz Not being able to use the action links for each mail message is a known issue with XGL/Compiz/Beryl/etc. The problem stems from the popup window losing focus when the eventbox is clicked, causing the popup to close before the action is carried out. There may be a fix up soon, although I don't actually have a system which can run XGL and as such it's hard to debug. -- Checkgmail doesn't work with Compiz https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104046 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
