This annoys the hell out of me.+1 It is very annoying, particularly on Firefox with multiple and tabbed windows where it disables the entire application. So much for threading.
You've got it backward. Compiz doesn't disable the application; the application is dead and not responding. The greyscale is an indicator of this. Previously, the indicator would be nothing gets (re-)painted in the window from the time the application froze, leading to weird artifacts or blank windows.
