Comment #1 on issue 413 by allbery.b: Windows don't disappear http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=413 Sounds to me like the root window isn't processing Expose events properly. How are you setting the background? (Some setters only behave correctly when used with a window manager that redraws the root window itself using a cached copy of the background; not all window managers understood this protocol, and it's mostly obsolete these days.)
