[Bug 356374] [NEW] Widget layer disappears when interacting with applications within the widget layer

[dmandell]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

I have two applications in the widget layer, Gajim (Jabber client) and
Evolution (mail client).  When I interact with the applications in
certain specific ways the widget layer disappears, which makes it really
difficult to use apps in the widget layer.

For instance, if I click once on the title bar (top) of either Gajim or
Evolution, the widget layer disappears.  If I right-click on one of my
contacts in Gajim or one of my emails in Evolution the widget layer
disappears.  Notifications also cause the widget layer to close (see
https://lists.launchpad.net/dx-team/msg00942.html).

I've tried turing "End Widget Mode on Click" off, but all that does is
prevent the widget layer from closing when I click somewhere other than
on one of my widget applications, it doesn't seem to affect the behavior
I've described above.

If you need anything else from me, please let me know.
