Compiz BUG?

[bkidwell]

I have installed Maya 64bit MATE + Compiz on an ASUS AMD/ATI laptop with FGLRX proprietary drivers installed.
I have compiz working, howerver one problem I'm having is that when using expo, the movement of windows from one desktop to another is incredibly glitchy, they may move or not, and sometimes whole windows disappear. The same is true when I try to move with ctrl-alt-arrow on the desktop wall, somtimes it works, but mostly it is glitchy and the window remains on the previous viewspace.
With some trial and error I have determined that this can be fixed if the "Place Windows" function is disabled in Compiz... this is a rather unfortunate workaround though, as windows now are placed behind the panel.
I'm fine with having the "Place Windows" disabled if I could figure out another way to not have windows start behind the panel.
Any help or suggestions?
Thanks so much!

EDIT: Would be awesome if a few people would try this on both ATI and NVIDIA to see if it's reproducable, and then post back here!

Just looking for some feedback, I can't find anyone else complaining of this, so maybe its just my hardware. Any feedback at all would be awesome!

I can confirm this problem. I am experiencing it with my asus zenbook UX32VD
I have documented all my problems with mint13 + mate + compiz here:

Workspace switcher and cube "losses" the window also only way to find it is to remember what workspace it was put on and it switch manually. The "Window List" will not list it even when set to "show windows of all decktops"

This moving windows bug is related to the plugin "Place Windows" --> if you turn that off the bug is gone, but also any intelligent placement for new windows.. they will just be put at the top left corner.

Well this is how I finally got it to work correctly. And then tweaked it for myself.

Copy the code and create a file called: what ever you want.profile

Now go to the Compiz setting Manager, go to preferences / profile&backend / import ,now point to the file you made. Now tweak it if you wish.
