HMh, xterm shouldn't have anything to do with that. The problem with terminal lies in real transparency in xfce4-terminal. -- Yves-Alexis signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'm not sure it's fixed for everybody, but could you please give the versions of xfwm, xorg drivers, xrender etc., for the record?

It may be that metacity compositing has the same the problems; I don't know and am not planning on installing gnome to find out :-) So it could be a problem with xrender; are there other programs that use that I can test with? You could try using xcompmgr; it's a standalone composite manager, and see it it excibits the same problem. // Alexander Toresson -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
