Bug Description

Binary package hint: gucharmap

Normally, when right-clicking on a charater, a bigger version is shown in a floating box with additional font information.

When desktop effects are turned on (i.e., when running compiz), this doesn't work. I noticed a quick flash in the tasklist, as if a new window was open for a very short time. Maybe this gives some hint about compiz dealing with the floating information window?

Possible to retrofit the fix to Hardy? This bug is a pain in the ass as I use (or try to use!) right-click in gucharmap quite often to find out what font the display is drawn from.
