regression / unable to interact with window-titlebar (window decoration) after minimizing/unminimizing gnome-terminal

I forgot to mention,

this bug has appeared today (April 14th), in the last few hours.

I built compiz once and noticed the problem. but waited before filing a bug report in case i had just pulled from bzr at a bad time. i waited about 2 hours before building again, and the bug is still there.

I also just noticed that AWN can no longer unminimize windows using it's right-click on icon menu.

if i restart compiz, the window may be open, and AWN's menu will still show the option to unminimize too.

I figure these two things are probably related.

Update:

It would seem to be only affecting the gconf-backend (so some setting must be screwed up in there). After switching to the gsettings-backend, the unminimizing problem disappeared...

I am now using the INI-backend, as gsettings didn't seem support a plugin that i use. So ini is fine for now (and working correctly).

Found the cause. Removing r3092 from lp:compiz-core fixes this regression...

  Reverts to correct logic used before r2838.

Sam says he's looking into this, to see if we can do a fix that doesn't simply revert r3092.

Thanks Daniel.

I wasn't sure if i was the only one who seemed to have this issue, but i did end up trying gconf-backend from scratch (deleted all settings) and it was still persistent. thanks for confirming the bug.

I'll recompile compiz later tonight, and see if it is fixed.

Fix committed into lp:compiz-core at revision 3093

Nice.

I built revision 3048, earlier _ but I'll give this a test right now.
