Top of gnome panel not clickable with compiz

[namphcar22]

When I activate Compiz through the Desktop Effects settings, the top one or two pixels of the top Gnome panel don't respond to mouse clicks. Is this a bug, or do I have to adjust some CompizConfig setting?

I seems a bug to me, i had filed a report long back.
If you wish so you can choose the 'workspaces on a cube' option, which make the inactive pixels lie along the sides of the screen instead of top/bottom edges.

another possible cause is the Desktop Wall. Disable all the unneeded edge flipping bindings.

Thanks, that did the trick. I just ended up disabling Desktop Wall.

How did you do that? Where is the option?

EDIT: got it, its in the configuration editor for gnome (gconf-editor). Disabling wall/cube also disables workspace switching using Ctrl-Alt-Left/Right keys

I used ccsm. You may need to run "yum install ccsm".

Thanks a lot. That seems a much better way
