Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: metacity
Occasionally, a small area of the screen will be taken up by a patch of
grey which is drop-shadowed like a window and always sits on top of
other windows, but which persists across workspaces and is invisible to
xprop. It's often been triggered by transient objects (menus and
tooltips), but doesn't always take up the entire area of the menu. Less
often, I'll be left with pieces of an application window.
I'm using metacity with compositing enabled. The only way I've found to
remove the glitches is to interrupt the compositor -- either by turning
it off or by restarting the window manager.
I've included a screenshot of the latest occurrence.
