Greetings R community:

Since R 2.9.0+ I have noticed that when I use the default cairo x11() device, if I obscure a device window (or switch virtual desktops), the window does not refresh. I need to move it or resize it to make it redraw. This behavior did not happen before 2.9.0. It also does not occur currently when using the Xlib type in x11.

Now, I should make clear that I am not running on a machine under my administrative control, so it is entirely possible that something changed in the default X Window System configuration that prevents Cairo from refreshing. I would like to ask if anyone has seen this behavior before and if so, have you found the cause and/or solution? Thank you.

Possibly useful info:
