cairo produces a black background (overriding the gnome wallpaper) in
the Activities overview in gnome-shell  using the proprietary AMD
Catalyst fglrx driver.

System information:
Arch Linux, kernel 3.6.4-1
X.Org X Server 1.13.0 
cairo 1.12.6-2
gnome-shell 3.6.1
GPU AMD Radeon HD 6450 running catalyst-utils 12.9-0.1


Workarounds:
- Rolling back to cairo 1.12.2-3 fixes the problem using the AMD Catalyst 
driver.
- Bug can not be reproduced using cairo 1.12.6-2 with the open-source ati 
driver (1:6.14.6-2).

I experience exactly the same behavior, but with open-source Intel drivers.
I haven't tried to downgrade cairo, though.

I have to add that this occurs only when I tell the file manager to
"handle the desktop" using gnome-tweak-tool.

cairo 1.12.8
gnome-shell 3.6.2

The problem is still there on my system with cairo 1.12.14-0ubuntu1 on
Ubuntu 13.04, and the fix mentioned by Chris is already included.

In which case, your attention should turn towards Catalyst.

Thanks for the confirmation. So it should be a different problem for
Catalyst.

Title:
  Gnome-Shell activities shows black background with fglrx in raring

Status in GNOME Shell:
  Fix Released
Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “gnome-shell” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “libcairo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Gnome-Shell activities view shows a solid black background while
  using fglrx in raring. I have found that this solid black background
  is only when you have "file manager handle the desktop" enabled. If
  you turn off the file manager handling the desktop, you can then see
  the background image in the activities view.
