The problem isn't that I fear people won't do the work, as I know packaging will happen anyway. It's just that the way Ubuntu devs consider patching is plain wrong: there's generally no hurry pushing a fix to the development release, so downstream patching only generates useless work. I wish Ubuntu would turn to upstream when they have a patch before even thinking of applying it: very often, feedback and discussion can help understanding the best solution. Plus, if I hadn't been around, would upstream have even heard of this patch one day? This is not against you at all, it's more a general state of mind that I consider slightly counter-productive.

I've tried to reproduce this with Compiz, and I can't. Weird. If under Compiz we're getting leave-notify-event signals, something is really wrong. Did you notice when these signals are sent? When simply moving the pointer, when clicking... ?
