            Bug ID: 87511
           Summary: [855GM] MESA 10.4 (10.5 git) + GLX-dock/cairo-dock +
                    Cinnamon (desktop environment)
           Product: Mesa
           Version: git
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/DRI/i830
          Assignee: dri-devel at lists.freedesktop.org

Hello,

I wanted to be able to try out the new release of MESA 10.4 but only have Linux
Mint 13 (based on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS).  As such, I have added Pali's PPA to my
software sources and installed MESA accordingly (the version available there is
currently 10.5.0-git201412182300.e06b077~ubuntu12.04.1).  I had assumed that it
would contain the bug fixes described on the MESA 10.4 Release Notes
(http://www.mesa3d.org/relnotes/10.4.html).  Another positive benefit from
performing this installation is that I have retained direct hardware rendering
on my chipset without it falling back to software-rendering, which I recall
being very sluggish.

Long story short, there are 3 main issues that concern my hardware and software
mix:
----
1) windows showing incorrect drop shadows using the Cinnamon desktop
environment

2) missing/incorrect background color for the panel menus while using the
Cinnamon desktop environment

3) glx-dock (aka cairo-dock) showing an annoying white rectangle, each time the
dock is hidden and re-drawn.
---

After having installed MESA 10.5(git), the only bug of the above 3 that appears
to be resolve is the one pertaining to the incorrect drop shadows while using
Cinnamon.......... the drop shadows for all windows are now the correct color.

However, the last two bugs persist.

Please refer to bugs #80050 and #72819 for more info.
