Tomas is right. A workaround discussed in duplicate bug 1072889 is to turn on:
CCSM > Composite > Unredirect Fullscreen Windows
But, WARNING: That's only safe to do on 12.10 or later. 12.04 has bugs
in the nouveau and intel drivers that will be triggered and often crash
the whole X server. It's not really a problem for nvidia, radeon, or
fglrx.
Also note that this option is turned on by default starting in 0.9.8.6
for quantal and 0.9.9.0 for raring.
