Package: xmonad Version: 0.8.1-3 Severity: important I've been observing this phenomenon for a while, but unfortunately it is not deterministic. I'm using xmonad (conf attached) with xcompmgr and gnome, xmonad is run from the gnome-session mechanism.
>From time to time, a single window decide to "disappear" in the sense that it no longer shows its content, showing rather what is below (usually the background). The window, however, is still there and is affected by the usual window actions: resizing, workspace switch, layout change, ... It is just that is completely useless as it is invisible. The only "solution" is close the window and re-open it (if the application permits that). FWIW, I experience a similar (but not quite the same) phenomenon sometimes when switching from one window to the other. The one I switched from disappear, to reappear when it got focused again. That makes me believe that the bug might be related to the FadeInactive extension that I'm using. If this is the case, the bug should possibly be reassigned to libghc6-xmonad-contrib-dev. Still, I do not consider an acceptable behaviour for the main window manager to permit this kind of situations. Many thanks for maintaining xmonad!
