Public bug reported:

I'm on ubuntu 13.04 amd64, I switched from unity to gnome-session-
fallback to get the classic taskbar, etc.

Problem: when clicking anything in the title bar (text,
close/minimize/maximize buttons) for some applications, the click event
seems to fall through to the window beneath, and the window comes in
focus and receives the click event.

This happens ONLY WITH MAXIMIZED windows. So for instance, if I clicked
'close' in a maximized thunderbird, and there happens to be a maximized
gedit beneath it, the gedit will be closed instead.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Alf-F2, type "." and hit Enter -- nautilus opens the home folder
2. maximize nautilus
3. click anywhere in its titlebar

Results:
  - the titlebar dims showing it lost focus
  - the click fell through to the desktop, or to the window behind nautilus

Apps which exhibit this bug: 
- tortoisehg
- nautilus -- the fs browser

Apps which do not exhibit the bug:
- firefox
- gimp
- thunderbird
- gnome-terminal
- pidgin
- gedit
- archive manager

FWIW, I removed the top gnome panel and only left the bottom panel with
some quick launch icons, taskbar and indicator applet.
