Still repros on 2.6.29-rc8 + xorg-edgers as of today.

My repro steps:
1. start a gnome-terminal with "white text on black background" theme and run "ls -al" to fill it with some text.
2. do "gedit *.txt" on some files and use color theme "oblivion" (dark background).
3. repeatedly press the gedit taskbar entry to minimize/maximize gedit triggering the minimize/maximize animation in compiz. the white test from the gnome-terminal in the background cuts very clearly (opaque not blended at all) into the gedit window as it's gliding into maximized state. It's not until the maximize animation is completely finished that the opaque white text from the gnome-terminal in the background disappears.

A strange side note is that I no longer see the 1/10th of second white flash when opening the Applications menu in gnome-panel.

gksudo doesn't change/dim/shade the background though like it does on intrepid.
