Hello!
I'm having a couple of problems with Compiz: (1) For some reason new windows aren't properly stacked when there are fullscreen windows displayed (ie, new windows are started below the fullscreen window, though they get input focus). (2) If I move a window by dragging its titlebar while it's above a full-screen window, it gets hidden (this doesn't happen with alt-drag).
So I was thinking about playing a bit with the Compiz source to track down why this happens. I've downloaded the source, got it to compile, and started playing a bit with it. But it's quite big and complex, and I was wondering if there are some starting pointers: which component does what, a bit of how they work together.
I'd also like some more precise indication from master hackers about where should I look for the above two problems.
(By the way, I'm using Compiz on Ubuntu Gutsy.)
