Comment #1 on issue 571 by allber...@gmail.com: Other workspaces windows viewable on empty workspaces http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=571 This is typically a bug in the xorg video driver; xmonad handles window placement policy, this is redraws not happening which is between the X server and whatever client is not redrawing (or the server itself if there is no backdrop window). While things like this often happen with NVidia driver regressions and the only known workarounds involve running a compositing manager, apparently a recent Intel video driver update introduced this in the case where the root window is left at the default black; `xsetroot -grey` is a workaround in this case. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
