Just a quick update.. The content of the .xinputrc file was a single line run_im xim
I think that this may have something to do with the problem. .xinputrc is generated by language settings when you change the input type. in 16.10 when I set the input type to none the new .xinputrc file contains run_im none And the background is still OK in gedit & calc etc So the problem is the content of the .xinputrc file and not the presence of the file. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1620806 Title: gedit edit window is transparent when using Ambiance and Radiance themes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1620806/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
