I am seeing the same problem. Right now, I have two windows that are
invisible, but that react to the mouse hovering over them. I have one
pidgin window and one chromium window in this invisible state.
I can hover my mouse over the pidgin window and the top bar changes to
say "Pidgin internet messenger", and I get pop-up status boxes for my
buddies. But the actual window is nowhere to be found.
When I hover over the chromium window, the cursor changes whenever it
thinks it's over a link, and I can click on the links and the browser
loads that page. When I alt-tab, the preview of the window shows that
it actually did visit the link. But I can not see the actual window in
its normal place.
I do not know of a work-around to get the window to show up again. I
have tried (1) alt-tab to the desktop icon (2) alt-F1 to another virtual
console and alt-F7 back (3) use the compiz shortcut key to maximize and
unmaximize the window (4) use the compiz shortcut to move/resize the
window (5) switch to other desktops using ctrl-alt-arrows (6) switch
desktops using the compiz expo key.
Interested if others have found a work-around to get the application
windows to show up again.
Even more interested in a proper fix.
