Package: maximus
Version: 0.4.14-1

I'm experiencing a strange interaction between maximus, Metacity (acting as compositing manager), and GNOME's panels in some cases (more details below). Switching from a window which maximus "undecorated" to a window not handled by maximus (for example because it is not maximized) and back, the panels disappear: they are still there, but they are invisible and you can see the wallpaper behind -- in fact, blindly clicking on the applets they still work as expected, they just don't show up!

Example of action to reproduce the bug: launch a (maximized) GNOME terminal, choose the menu item "About" to open the small (unmaximized) dialog, close the dialog and... voilá: the panels disappear.

This issue only shows up when both:
1) Metacity acts as compositing manager (gconf key apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager), and
2) maximus does remove titlebar from maximized windows (gconf key apps/maximus/undecorate).
If either of the above gconf keys is off, the issue does not show up.

On the other hand, whether the window was automatically maximized by maximus or manually by the user, has no impact on the bug.

I'm sure it's not a case of bad user configuration, as it happens with a newly created user.

I'm using Debian 6.0.1 with all updates applied, on an Asus EeePC 901.

Relevant installed packages:
  metacity 1:2.30.1-3
  gnome-panel 2.30.2-2
