Description of problem: ======================= Once Fedora 25 is installed with the spin Compiz + MATE, => either with migration from Fedora 24 (or 23) => or in a fresh install Once loggued in Mate desktop, and compiz started, 1) the desktop background disappear and became black 2) when you move a windows, you have trailing shadow on desktop (illustrated as on github discussion: https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz/issues/40) 3) When you rotate the desktop, even at the end of rotation, it remains transparent , and we saw the skydome backgroud of compiz if skydome is activated On Fedora 25 , the extra display manager KDM has been installed, and chosen as the default display manager, so that switching from a desktop to an other is very easy, at the login step. Besides mate-desktop-1.16.1-2.fc25.x86_64 are also installed : PLASMA 5 # rpm -qa | grep plasma-desktop plasma-desktop-5.8.5-1.fc25.x86_64 plasma-desktop-doc-5.8.5-1.fc25.noarch RELEASE GTK3 # rpm -qa | sort | grep ^gtk3 gtk3-3.22.7-1.fc25.x86_64 gtk3-devel-3.22.7-1.fc25.x86_64 gtk3-devel-docs-3.22.7-1.fc25.x86_64 gtk3-immodule-xim-3.22.7-1.fc25.x86_64 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): # rpm -qa | grep mate-desktop mate-desktop-libs-1.16.1-2.fc25.x86_64 mate-desktop-1.16.1-2.fc25.x86_64 How reproducible: ================== case A) ALWAYS WITH MATE DESKTOP AND COMPIZ ACTIVATED case B) NEVER WITH PLAMA DESKTOP AND COMPIZ ACTIVATED Even if we start from runlevel 3 (no Display manager running) once logged in ascii mode, and a graphic session started with $ startx & if DESKTOP="MATE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop, I got the same case as A) trouble with MATE used with Compiz windows manager, while is working fine with Marco windows manager. if DESKTOP="KDE" in /etc/sysconfig/desktop, I got the same case as B) No redraw issue with PLASMA 5. The rotating cube is working normallly !!! So DONT SAY TO ME IT's A COMPIZ ISSUE !! IT IS A PROBLEM WITH MATE !!! and consequently this is NOT a duplicate bug with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409385 I'm not using XFCE, neither Intel Video Card but a NVIDIA video cards. And the problem is not related to Seamonkey as suggested in the title of this reported bugs Steps to Reproduce: =================== 1.At login step with KDM display manager, if PLASMA is choosen and COMPIZ started the session is working perfectly 2.At login step with KDM display manager, if MATE is choosen and COMPIZ started the session is not practically usable 3. Actual results: MATE + COMPIZ with standard package at beginning of February 2017 is not usable Expected results: MATE + COMPIZ usable with the last update of MATE for Fedora 25 Additional info: =============== I never had any of these issues with last update MATE + COMPIZ in Fedora 24. I only see this issue in October 2016 when I migrate for the fisrt time a Fedora 24 installed machine in Fedora 25. Of course I found the bug turn around: Instead of using Mate desktop management to have a backgroud, we go in Comiz management --> Utilities --> Background and the we choose background that normally is offered by Mate desktop management THAT SAID IS SO SIMPLE ??? But when you are a newbie, and you have just installed Mate+Compiz SPIN, and even after a complete update it DOES NOT WORK , what he thinks about this SPIN !!!!! +++++++++++++++++ NOW ACCORDINGLY TO https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/pull/731 and the comment of "raveit65" : "No need let the users wait 6 months for a fix which comes regular with mate-1.18 for f26." WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ? I have by myself, take the mate-1.18 RPMS from fedora 26 (Fedora rawhide) developpement, to have finally, MATE working correctly ??? Does any one tried this ? Currently in next 15 days I'm overwhelmed by works, So I can tries this. But after I'll make a tries with this solution
All is caused by a change by gtk3, see https://github.com/compiz-reloaded/compiz/issues/40 and report is already filled out here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=768415 And upstream is working on this , see https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-desktop/pull/249 https://github.com/mate-desktop/caja/pull/731 https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-settings-daemon/pull/169 There are 1.16 branches at github with that rewrite of mate's bg handling too. Unfortunately, fixes needs some work, currently we have a flickering with the desktop icons if you move with the mouse over it. But i can give you a link to updated rpms for 1.16. Believe me i will update fedora very fast if results are acceptable.

Just updated today, 2017 April 17, with current update: # dnf update caja mate-desktop mate-settings-daemon caja x86_64 1.16.4-1.fc25 updates 1.4 M caja-extensions x86_64 1.16.4-1.fc25 updates 35 k caja-schemas x86_64 1.16.4-1.fc25 updates 2.0 M mate-desktop x86_64 1.16.2-1.fc25 updates 109 k mate-desktop-libs x86_64 1.16.2-1.fc25 updates 483 k mate-settings-daemon x86_64 1.16.2-1.fc25 updates 566 k All is working fine. Background can be managed normally by : Popup menu on desktop backgroud --> Change background An no trailing shadow when moving windows. On the other side when using option "backgroung" in fusion-icon setting manager, the option seems disabled ? (do not change background appearance any more ) Well, may be that has be done on purpose ?
