[Bug 968692] Re: Some flash widgets are not obscured by overlapping windows

[Martin Stjernholm]

Looks like I'll be running a monologue on this one, but fwiw I can
mention some of the actions I've done to narrow it down:

1. The same thing happens with flash widgets in both firefox (my
standard browser) and chromium.

2. It's present in both Natty/Gnome 2 and Precise/Xubuntu.

3. Creating a new user on the same machine with the same desktop
environment does not exhibit the problem.

4. Running firefox with add-ons disabled does not make a difference.

5. If I move away ~/.mozilla it doesn't appear to happen on the first
firefox launch, but it's back again in subsequent launches.

6. Using strace I've tracked all files/dirs that are opened on launch in
my home directory, e.g. .adobe, .macromedia, .config, .local, .cache,
.fontconfig, .gtkrc-2.0, .fonts.conf, .nv, and of course .mozilla. I
then moved them away all at once. It does not make any difference if I
just launch another firefox instance, but it seemingly fixes the problem
if I log out and back in.

This leads me to believe it's influenced by some setting communicated
over D-Bus or somesuch mechanism, but I'm at a bit of a loss as to how
I'd trace that.
