Hi everybody !

I experienced a little bug when using the scale and showdesktop plugin :

After having activated the showdesktop function (my windows are masked), if I run my mouse in the Scale affected screen corner, the scale plugin function is called and all the windows go everywhere, disappear from the task bar and the desktop cube make a turn on the left or the right.
The only way to recover the windows is to disable compiz.

Making the same thing by calling firstly the scale function and after the showdesktop is not possible because the scale plugin disables the active corners.

I think this problem can be solved by desactiving the active corners during showdesktop activation.

Don't know if I have to post this in a bug tracking tool so I posted it here :).

I'd drop the Compiz Mailing list an email. Dave or gandalfn or one of the other active people should see it and address it.

I think it was fixed in git a few days ago.

Check for other screen grabs before calling layoutThumbs.

diff --git a/plugins/scale.c b/plugins/scale.c

A little up for this topic.
I made the update to the 0.3.6.

The problem I describe has evolved.
Windows don't disappear anymore but there is still a problem when you try to activate scale after using showdesktop.

Does anyone know how to fix it ?
