If you launch an app and change workspaces before it finishes loading this might cause the artifacts. What the artifacts represent is a window which was reparented but the frame not destroyed. When a new window (of any type) is launched BlackboxWindow is created, if it finds out the new window is a dock app the new window is reparented to the slit and the BlackboxWindow destroyed. However there are little race conditions where this might not happen. I am eager to seal this bug, I just need more eyes on the code. My time is limited currently.
