Public bug reported:
When compiz is enabled, playing a video in totem (or music with
visualizations turned on) leads to strange things. For example moving
the video player leaves the actual video behind until the player is
dropped. Also, making totem transparent, leads the video to become
black. An interesting thing I have found is that if nautilus (the part
that makes the gnome desktop have icons) is disabled I find that moving
totem leaves the video playing the same place, so it's almost as if when
compiz is enabled and the user tries to manipulate the player, the video
gets drawn being everything else.
I have tested this on other distros and for the most part they all have
issues with it. The exception is Fedora which seems to have this issue
ironed out, perhaps they have a working patch.
I have a Dell Inspiron 649m with intel 945gma video card. I am not sure
if the issue lies with the intel video driver alone or if it involves
both the driver and compiz. The problem isn't serious but it is
obnoxious. I think it would be great if this was fixed in time for
hardy. (NOTE: As of Hardy Alpha 2 the problem persists)
Please, if there is anything else you need to know about this or if
there is anything you need me to do/test feel free to ask.
