I have Dell XPS l502x with Nvidia Optimus
. Due to the complexity involved in making optimus work on linux, I have decided forget that laptop has Nvidia in it. I have installed Compiz on linux mint mate edition 13. When I enable compiz through compiz-fusion icon, it does not display properly. Please see attached image to exacly see what I mean, as I dont know how to express in words.

Did anyone has this problem? Can you please help me fix this bug?
I have updated mate to 1.4 using ubuntu precise repo.
I am running kernel 3.2.0-31-generic
