[Bug 374691] [NEW] Compiz edge buttons don't work over existing windows

[dfalk]

Public bug reported:

I have actions bound to clicks on screen edges (right and middle button
actions).  They will work so long as there is not a window where I'm
trying to perform the action.  If there is a window that is touching the
edge, that straddles the edge, or is maximized, then any actions I try
to perform happen to the window instead of performing the compiz action.

For example if Firefox is maximized, and I have a right-click action
defined for the left edge, the right-clicking the left edge just brings
up the Firefox context menu.

Note that the gnome panels don't seem to affect this.  I have a panel at
the top, and if I attach an action to the top edge, it works despite the
panel being there.

This seems to be the flip side of bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/103306 ...I think it should work
such that actions for which nothing is defined will be passed along as
inputs to the window, but swallowed up by compiz otherwise.

This appears to be different from the description of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/367740  and not a duplicate from
what I can tell (though I don't experience the problem in that bug
report).
