Package: release.debian.org Severity: important This bug should really be reported to the Debian Stretch dev team, this bug was not patched until after the Jessie release which has the bug. I could not find an available option for the current Debian testing version in Reportbug, so I am posting this here.
Back in Jessie there was an issue with XFWM4 and LightDM-GTK-Greeter where when the XFWM4 Compositor setting was set to true. When logging in from LightDM there is a few seconds of grey background before the desktop background appears, it would be great to see this as a seamless transition once again. This bug has continued on in Stretch running: lightdm-gtk-greeter_2.0.1-2_i386 xfwm4_4.12.3-2_i386 I am not aware of the state of this bug in x64 Debian when running the relative x64 packages. Patches have been released for both above mentioned packages: - xfwm4 > -DMONITOR_ROOT_PIXMAP patch - lightdm-gtk-greeter > xsetroot patch I have been looking into the issue here: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?pid=41986 -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-2-686-pae (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
