From bubble.c:

/* the behind-bubble blur only works with the enabled/working compiz-plugin blur
 * by setting the hint _COMPIZ_WM_WINDOW_BLUR on the bubble-window */

Is this what you're after?  The actual Gaussian blur convolution appears
to only be used to draw the shadow, which seems reasonable to me - my
understanding is that blurring behind the window can only be performed
by the composite manager, since it's the only thing that actually knows
what's behind the window.
