Yes, I'm sorry about that.  I was unaware of bug 9320, and I'm unable to
reproduce the bug I originally reported, I guess I'm happy to see this bug
marked as fixed now.

Yes, the rename was an error; thank you for reverting it.

Well, that wasn't quite my set up: I run all my programs in an undecorated
virtual desktop.  However, I'm unable to duplicate the problem either in my
original report or following the test sequence you describe, so for me this bug
is fixed.  I've checked Gnome, XFCE and fluxbox.

Shall we leave this open for a little bit, or close it again until somebody
else can reproduce a closely related problem?
