Probably your graphics drivers are faulty. For example, I believe several VMs ship with drivers that don't do borders correctly.

Hi,

I've taken two screenshots to try and illustrated my issue better.

1. http://i.imgur.com/R8Dvz.jpg
2. http://i.imgur.com/TgD6P.jpg

The desktop contains 4 windows. 3 are gnome-terminal and one is an emacs
window. In the first image, emacs is selected, and it has a red border. In
the second image, the upper-left term window is selected, and emacs has a
gray border. In both images all of the term windows have weird half
see-through borders. I'd like my term windows to have the same borders as
all the other windows have (e.g. emacs).

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Thank you

No, I'm running in Ubuntu 10.10, no VM in sight.

Are you by any chance running xmonad inside a VM? Some VMs have bugs in
their video drivers that manifest in X11's borders.

Hi,

I seem to be getting a weird effect on gnome-terminal's border color. In
all other windows, my border shows as a solid color (red or grey in my
case). However, gnome-terminal's border colors seems to be half
transparent
and my desktop wallpaper is showing through. This makes it really
difficult
to figure out which window is currently active.

Thank you for your help
