[Josue Abarca]

Package: mutter-common

Dear Maintainer,

Please backport the fix for the bug know upstream as: 677657[0], it
would be great if it could be included in Wheezy.

>From one of the commits that fixed the issue:

*If a window has its BoundingRegion shaped, we shouldn't unredirect it,
as it expects the rest of the windows from being shown under it. This
prevents applications like the Skype screen recorder or gtkRecordMyDesktop
which want to show a "border" around the recorded area from being
unredirected, giving the appearance of making the desktop freeze.*

Upstream made a little software to reproduce/test the bug
shaped-fullscreen.c[1], that is attached and you can build it with:

$ gcc -o shaped-fullscreen shaped-fullscreen.c $(pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0) -Wall -Werror
