SUMMARY
Steam will produce popups on the lower right hand corner of your main screen.
While it doesn't respect where the panel is (like on Windows), that's an issue
for another time (or for Valve). Sometimes, it will pop up a notification and
the notification will be all black (like a compositing issue perhaps?). I'm
not the only one who has seen it, I have attached a screenshot from a thread
from Reddit.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Steam
2. Get a notification (common ones are: install finished, friend came online,
new message, etc)
3. Under certain scenarios the popup message will be entirely blacked out and
you are not able to read the contents.
OBSERVED RESULT
Black rectangle instead of message contents
EXPECTED RESULT
Message contents shown

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Seems to be fine under X11 and I am not able to produce it 100% of the time,
may depend on certain settings. This is the reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/tpwlqk/steam_notifications_appearing_as_black_boxes/
Attached is a screenshot from that thread. I tried getting a friend to send a
message, and it appeared correctly, but it wasn't working previously.
