That warning is caused by compiz setting the new ACTION_ABOVE hint on
windows and old versions of libwnck doesn't recognize that hint. It's
harmless and if you upgrade to a newer version of libwnck (I think you
need the svn version) it will disappear. That libwnck spits out a
warning just because it doesn't recognize an action type is sort of bug.

I haven't looked at the "lost textures" bug but I can guarantee that
it's not related to this libwnck warning.
