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.

This updated test was done using hardy heron with all stable updates
issued up until 24th of aug 2008.
