Issue #2 happens also with Wine in MGSE. Wine thinks it still needs to subtract some 24 pixels from the size of (not maximized) windows at the bottom, but actually that's already done as the MGSE panel is there.
So I guess we inherited that bug from Gnome 3.
About #1, I don't understand what's wrong. At first sight the screenshot looks like Cinnamon should be.
If those problems both exist in stock Mint 12 as you say, we must have inherited them from Gnome 3. If there's an upstream bugfix feel free to share the link to the commit here.

All these problems should be fixed if we can make the bottom panel and its elements show "behind" windows.
from cinnamon.
@AlbertJP : Look at Mintupdate context menu : it's wrong placed
@clefebvre : A way could be to put the top panel (which is better integrated) at bottom. This should solve the issue #2. They did that here : http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=205&t=85775 with "Reflection extension". But some problem still remain as they say.
from cinnamon.
The bottom panel in cinnamon is the main panel... it's the same panel that's on the top in Gnome Shell, not an added bottom panel.. so there's no need for Reflection.
from cinnamon.
OK, sorry
from cinnamon.
This is a bug also in Gnome Shell. As far as I can see all Clutter components appear on top of the WM elements. Giving the panel a depth of 0 doesn't fix the problem. Giving it a negative depth makes it appear behind the wallpaper.

@clefebvre yea, I see the first issue in Gnome shell also. Its strange, because some gtk2 systray menus (like Pigeon) work fine, while others (like Pithos) are positioned incorrectly.
from cinnamon.
For problem #1, it actually comes from mintUpdate and not cinnamon : I actually made a pull request on mintUpdate recently to correct the menu position issue.
For problem #2, there is a bug report on gnome-shell's bug tracker for it (without a patch yet) : https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633620
from cinnamon.
Just noticed, tooltips on systray icons also appear below the panel.
from cinnamon.
Thought I'd add my observations on this:
Tooltips appear below (behind?) the panel: This could explain why I'm not seeing any tooltips at all for the systray icons.
gtk2 apps: I'm running Glipper as my clipboard manager which I believe is a gtk2 app and it's (systray) right-click menu shows above the panel as it should. Skype's right-click (systray) menu also shows above the panel as well when it's running. I mentioned Skype since, unlike Glipper, it does not follow the system theme at all. Looks more like a non-themed Gnome 2 app (not a complaint, just an observation).
from cinnamon.
Afaik, the right-click menu position has nothing to do with whether the application if a gtk2 or a gtk3 one. mintUpdate is also a gtk2 app and its menu isn't correctly positioned because the application itself doesn't define the menu position correctly (see my previous comment).
from cinnamon.
Just commited a possible fix for this.
It seems to bring the expected behavior here, ie : windows still go under the panel but context menus show on top of the panel.
This really needs some testing in order to identify any possible side effects.
from cinnamon.
OK, had to revert that commit, noticed several bad side effects already...
I think I may be still on to something, but I need to do some additionnal changes.
from cinnamon.
This time I think I've got a working solution, though there may still be some side effects that I haven't experienced yet.
from cinnamon.
I just noticed this is not quite solved yet, as the parts of the context menus that are shown on top of the panel are unresponsive to mouse clicks.
from cinnamon.
Also, the panel now appears on top of fullscreen windows
from cinnamon.
The panel no longer shows on top of fullscreen windows.
But I'm not sure it'll be possible to completely solve this issue within cinnamon. There's probably an issue with mutter itself.
from cinnamon.
Running cinnamon 1.3 on Mint 12, I can't see tooltips for systray icons, other than Dropbox. http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/823/tooltipsystraycinnamon1.png/ It would be nice to have tooltips, for the music playing, power indicator, Update Manager, and so on. By the way, do you have nightly builds? I'm willing to be a bleeding edge beta tester :)
from cinnamon.
@alefq : there aren't nightly builds, the only way to test the very last development version is to compile the source (in which the tooltips appear correctly)
from cinnamon.
Testing the latest git version is easy... start with a proper 1.1.3 install, then git clone the github repo and run ./test.
I use dropbox as well, and it shows fine in systray, including its tooltip.
from cinnamon.
Thank you @clefebvre , now it's working perfect. For the records, I had to run "sudo ./test" because of permission issues. I can safely follow these procedure everyday? Is not architecture dependant?
