Not certain if this applies to other users but this fix worked for me: In ccsm, choose the composite plugin under the general settings area.
"Unredirect Fullscreen Windows" is checked. "Unredirect Match" includes a list of window classes. Click the "+" button to add a match. I then used the grab tool and added the fullscreen windows which had been experiencing flickers. Virtual Box is the one which has annoyed me the most because I consistently have multiple vbox instances open on different workspaces. When I grabbed a vbox instance it added "& !(class=VirtualBox)" to the "Unredirect Match" Now vbox doesn't have the screen flicker any more! It would be nice not to have to manually add exceptions but this has worked for me so far. Also, I don't know what undesirable consequences (if any) this fix has. ** Attachment added: "Unredirect Matches" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/862430/+attachment/3811037/+files/flickfix.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/862430 Title: window flicker for a short time after switching workspaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/862430/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
