Bug Description

With different sized screens and a twin view setup, there are ugly purple bars below the smaller screen. Were it transparent, it would look better. Screenshot is attached.

Please note the black bar at the bottom is not an issue as it can't be seen on the smaller screen. Sorry if this bug should have been reported in compiz not unity; I was not sure.

Reproduced on Precise.

Not sure if the black areas are purple, but it certainly could look better.

Looks like these have changed to black. The issue I mentioned earlier is gone.

Generally, I think we can consider this fixed. I've only tested it on -intel though; if it's still a problem with nvidia or other drivers, please reopen.
