Description of problem: After enabling "Desktop Effects", windows are rendered with drop shadows as expected. However, this is not the case for the panel and its menus. Drop shadows are simply replaced by white areas of same dimensions. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): compiz-0.5.2-3.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log into "GNOME" session. 2. Enable "Desktop Effects". Actual results: Top and bottom panels exhibit adjacent white bars. The same applies to menus when opened - both those of panels or other ["GTK" based] applications. Expected results: Both panels are accompanied by drop shadows, and so are the menus when opened. Additional info: There existed some decorator problems for the latest "compiz" versions but before, everything seemed to work correctly although extremely sluggishly compared to previous releases. The graphics card is an "R100" based "ATI Radeon All in Wonder". Unfortunately, I have not other system at hand in order to test "compiz" for a driver other than the "radeon" one.

I see that on my 965 too, investigating.
Turns out to be a problem with texture target for power-of-two textures. Should be fixed by upgrading to compiz 0.5.2-5.0ec3ec (which will pull in new Xorg and mesa).
