A little less pushiness would be appreciated - thanks.
I had a look into this and it looks like the panel drawer doesn't
properly respond to the _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST protocol. Compiz sends out
a sync request, but gets no response from the drawer window. After 1
second, the Compiz internal sync response wait timer times out (and the
resize is carried out), that's the delay you're seeing.
I didn't have the time yet to analyze in-depth why the drawer window is
different from other GTK windows, but maybe someone else has an idea
based on this information.

Regards,

Danny
