Description of problem: When an application is processing something (and presumably the window hasn't been updated in a while), it fades to grayscale. But not just the application window, also an extra border around it, so the window now looks like it's embedded in a dark gray/black square. Looks pretty crappy. I'm not even sure it's supposed to be fading to grayscale to begin with. Isn't it supposed to become translucent? Note that all of the other compiz window effects work great (if not super speedy, but I'm ok with that). Manually adjusting window translucency with the keybindings also works just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.fc6 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.2-4.fc6 compiz-0.0.13-0.32.20060817git.fc6 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run an application that doesn't update it's window for a while 2. Watch the gray box appear 3. Actual results: Gray box appears around now-grayscaled application window Expected results: No gray box Additional info:
