Comment 16 for bug 778083

Sven's solution worked for me also, I didn't noticed weird corruptions after
replacing the metacity with an older one (10.10). Beside of that, I
encounter a pretty similar problem when playing with the tooltip on the
'workspaces' preferences in the bottom right corner of the desktop (see the
attached screenshot) - a small purple area remain unrefreshed in the place
where the tooltip was raised. Anyone else experience this strange thing ?
Sorry if this is not really related to this defect, but this appeared to be
fine when replacing the metacity binary.
