<pre>Everyone:
I asked this before under a different heading, and no one answered.
I get a large volume of e-mail, and very often I interact with a site
that brings up a lot of message boxes, "suggestion boxes" (for
auto-filling from a few keystroke clues), and bringing up apps after
they were minimized to the system tray or the task bar. Now why is it
that, after maybe two hours of operation, those popups come up and are
totally black? The only way to solve the problem, that I have found, is
to shut down. And even then, I can't even see what I'm doing, but have
to guess where the icons are for executing a controlled shutdown. (I can
always bring up a command-line login screen, log in as root, and then
shut down. But that doesn't seem to solve the problem for the next session.)
And when I log back on, everything's fine--until it starts happening
again, after several more window draws.
What could be causing this? Where do I even look for error logs and the
like?
I never had this problem in any other version of Fedora. I'm having it
now, and it's driving me nuts.
For the record, I used the "upgrading from F17 to F18 using yum" method.
I even used the elaborate script that walks you through rpmnew and
rpmsave reconciliation. And I've kept up with every system update since
then. Actually, the problem began about three kernel updates back.

Which desktop are you using? Did you try with another
theme? Did you try another desktop?<br>

To answer your questions:<br>
<br>
1. KDE<br>
<br>
2. I don't know that KDE has more than one theme. I use a
simple theme, with an ever-changing desktop background.<br>
<br>
3. I'm a Gnome drop-out. Tried XFCE once; it failed.<br>
<br>

It has different themes. Go to System Settings =>
Applications Appearance => Styles. There you change your
windows theme. Under Colours you change windows colours.
And it you go to Workspace Appearance => Window
Decoration and Desktop Theme, you can change the look and
feel of your plasma desktop.<br>

PD: If you are a drop out of Gnome, like me, may be you
would like to try Cinnamon and Mate.<br>

Just tried changing themes, and fine-tuning, going from
very-high CPU to high CPU.<br>
<br>
No joy. Not only that, but the black popup/new window effect
manifested itself almost at once after I made the change.<br>
<br>
To clear this, I had to log out, then log back in. Naturally I
reset everything to default:<br>
<br>
Theme: Oxygen<br>
<br>
Graphics effect: Low screen resolution and very high CPU.<br>
<br>
As it happened, I took in another update from Firefox and
Thunderbird. But the problem affects all applications, and even
native KDE functions like Kickstart, and all notifications.<br>

Hello!<br>
<br>
Sorry for my lateness but I was making some
experiments with KDE. It happens to me too, after 2 or 3 hours of
use. Not only pop ups pr message boxes are black, but every
window. Plasma and wallpaper are fine.<br>
I'm using KDE 4.9, Fedora 18 64-bits, and as somebody say, may
be it is related with Intel chipset, because my netbook is an
Intel one.<br>
<br>
Is there a bug filed for this issue?<br>
<br>
<br>
