Bug Description

When compositor is enabled, with or without shadows and I try to log out of
GNOME, the logout options don't appear on the screen and I can't do anything
until I press ESC.

This happens with Metacity/Xfwm4/Openbox in Ubuntu 5.10.

Most relevant (I think) sections of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Module"
        Load "GLcore"
        Load "bitmap"
        Load "dbe"
        Load "ddc"
        Load "dri"
        Load "extmod"
        Load "freetype"
        Load "glx"
        Load "int10"
        Load "record"
        Load "speedo"
        Load "type1"
        Load "v4l"
        Load "vbe"
        Load "xtt"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon 7500 (RV200 QW)"
        Driver "ati"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option "RenderAccel" "true"
        Option "backingstore" "true"
        Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
EndSection

I also have this annoying bug.
Gandalf resolve it in is compiz repo by patching gnome-session.
I attach the actual patch for the 2.16 version.

Will this patch work with xcompmgr, or will it require (as mentioned in bug 59244) one to add GSM_NO_GRAB_SERVER to .gnomerc or patch xcompmgr to set it?

This is actually the same patch, i didn't see that gandalf reported a bug.
I can't say for xcompmgr since i never use it, but you should try.
