Can't even get the binary drivers wizard thing to show up on the latest hardy alpha CD (alpha4) so I don't think I can test hardy at this moment.

Also, I discovered that if you enable decoration blurring using the emerald decoration manager instead of the default gnome one, it works fine. So decorations must be handled by a slightly different rendering chain than other transparency functions in compiz, and the decoration manager needs to explicitly tell it to blur the transparent portions.

This likely means that there won't be a "fix" for this issue in the gnome decoration manager anytime soon, but that users can use the emerald decoration manager to get this effect, which is a reasonable fix for the time being, IMO.
