A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
After turning on Compiz, when a window is created with per-pixel translucency and given a gradient background, the window turns completely transparent when placed on a white background.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Turn on Compiz fusion.

Execute the given code. Open any window with white background or change desktop background to white.

Place the translucent window from the code on top of the white Window.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
A translucent window with a fully-transparent to blue gradient.
ACTUAL -
A completely transparent Window.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
