Title:
Switching workspaces does not always redraw
This bug affects my installation of Natty as well when running in the
No-effects version session. It happens with many programs, not just
gnome-terminal.
Enabling composting in metacity or using compiz fixes the issue, but
adds visual candy that I dislike and seems to also cause occasional GPU
Me too: I believe that the bug is related to the option of selecting windows
when the mouse is over the window. I have two computers, an old Dell D610
laptop with an Intel graphics card, and an equally old Dell Dimension 5150 with
an old ATI Radeon, both having some windows not redrawn when
Hi.
The solution in Bug #802747 looks very promising. At least looks like it
fixed the glitches for me.

Hi Paulus,
Thanks for the data point, but my failure to redraw doesn't seem to be
related to #802747: /apps/metacity/general/capture_before_unmap is set
to false but if I change the preferences setting to select windows on
mouseover, capture_before_unmap remains false but terminal windows fail
to
Hi Dave,
I agree with you that it has been very quiet in this bug report lately,
even though the problem still exists and must be affecting more people
than those who have found this bug report.
Anyway, a temporary solution, as stated in #15 and #16, is to copy an
older Ubuntu's metacity and run
According to various observations in this bug report (especially #15 and
#16), I believe this is not an X server bug but a bug in Metacity.

I've seen this corruption problem when switching workspaces since
upgrading to 11.04 from 10.10. It's worst for gnome-terminals, i.e.
going from Thunderbird (after reading mail or even just selecting
various folders) and then switching to a workspace with at least one
gnome-terminal window.
Hi guys,
Anyone got a workaround for this thing ? Maybe some patched metacity or
smth will be great.
Thanks,
Alin

Title:
Switching workspaces
Sven's solution worked for me also, I didn't noticed weird corruptions after
replacing the metacity with an older one (10.10). Beside of that, I
encounter a pretty similar problem when playing with the tooltip on the
'workspaces' preferences in the bottom right corner of the desktop (see the

Alin,
Yes, the tooltips also corrupt my display as you describe. I've
described this (although without a screenshot) in comment #5.
With kind regards,

This is something that I saw on my configuration too and this is my graphics
card conf:
ATI Technologies Inc Cedar PRO [Radeon HD 5450]
I'm also using Metacity (instead of Compiz).

I'm seeing the same thing, on Intel 945GME. Happens when using Metacity,
but not when using Compiz.

A question for the other people who are also affected by this problem:
does the remaining-border-corruption ever happen to you on non-Gnome-
Terminal windows? I've been experimenting with some other windows, such
as a calculator or other small windows, and they never seem to have any
residue left
This is happening for me for other applications, not only gnome-terminal
(pidgin chat window is one of the examples).

More corruption, not only window borders. I've attached an image where
part of a pop-up-context-menu in Thunderbird is not being drawn.
Another thing: when the corruption happens in the Gnome Panel, as in the
image that I've already attached in #5, it's the actual desktop
background that gets
I've more or less confirmed that metacity is at fault: I've copied
/usr/bin/metacity from a Lucid machine to /tmp and ran /tmp/metacity
--replace. This causes the Lucid version of metacity to take over. I've
not had any corruption with that version (it's a miracle that it works

A little more information: this also happens if I switch workspaces
using the Workspace Switcher panel widget (not using the CTRL-ALT-
arrow keys, just clicking on a workspace with the left mouse button).
This does not draw the 4x2 workspace miniatures transient window, but
still corrupts the new
Hmmm, a little more use of the system reveals that sometimes also parts
of the Gnome Panel get corrupted. This COULD possibly be related to
tooltips being displayed there when switching workspaces, although I'll
need to test this further. Also, sometimes, parts of my Gnome Terminal
display the

Ok. I assume you are using the 'metacity' window manager on both
computers. Could you temporarily switch to compiz/emerald and see if
the issue remains?

I tried to do this as well, as I initially thought it might have
something to do with metacity, but I can't seem to switch window
managers: the Appearance setting program does not have the fourth tab
that it used to have (Effects or something similar). Has this choice
been moved to another
Alright. I am going to move this to the xserver package. If the
maintainers want, they will move it to a more 'suited' package.

I would like to assign this to the proper graphics driver set. What
