Bug Description

Binary package hint: compiz

I reported in Bug 89741 (Title bar not drawn on maximized windows when desktop effects are enabled) that I was experiencing a white and glitchy desktop when compiz is enabled, although the wobbly windows work. I'll attach pictures to show this.

My xorg.conf has been modified to add RenderAccel and XAANoOffscreenPixmaps, which I think should be default, but that's another story.

Section "Device"
        Identifier "ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon 7200]"
        Driver "ati"
        BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
EndSection

I'm not sure whether it's actually compiz or AIGLX because I can't get Beryl to work to compare it with.

I forgot to add that I can drag the icons (where I guess they were the last time I saw them) that are on my desktop and see them on the mouse cursor, but they are invisible again after I stop dragging.
