[Bug 517663] [NEW] Sprite transparency problems in Scratch 1.4 when run under compiz

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: squeak-vm

Sprites appear transparent when running Scratch 1.4 with visual effects
(compiz) enabled using the currently available version of the VM
(1.3.9.8-3ubuntu3). The bug causes the Scratch cat and other sprites to
be "see through" ( see attached image ) Note that it's possible to see
text on windows underneath the Scratch window through the
representations of the icons - but not clearly.

An updated version of the Squeak-vm that includes a fix for this was recently submitted to Debian:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-squeak-devel/2010-January/000023.html

If this can be updated in time for inclusion with Lucid Lynx, Scratch (
http://scratch.mit.edu/ ) can depend on it rather than bundling its own
version of the squeak-vm.
