FYI: The screenshot attached originally doesn't show the bug because due to another bug the contexts of the overlay video surface is apparently not captured in the screenshot.
Anyway, I no longer see the black border around windows that are placed so that they slightly overlap the video surface of VLC (basically where the compiz window drop shadow should have been I saw only a thick black border instead). However, I don't think this bug was fixed because I used to have overlay rendering for video playback in VLC and nowadays my driver seems to support textured video even with compiz active so my system configuration can no longer repro the bug. For some reason, mplayer still uses overlay surfaces to playback video and there I do see this thick border but it's blue instead of black (it's the exact same problem though). Since I'm always using VLC and never mplayer I don't care about this bug personally any more but it's still not fixed I guess.
