Bug ID: 1061568 Summary: Certain X applications do not update window correctly under xmonad Product: Fedora Version: 20 Component: xmonad Severity: urgent Assignee: mathstuf@gmail.com Reporter: dgibson@redhat.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: haskell-devel@lists.fedoraproject.org, mathstuf@gmail.com, petersen@redhat.com
Description of problem:
When running xmonad with the MATE desktop, numerous applications don't redraw properly - interacting with them has effects behinds the scene, but their window is frozen on the old contents, until switching to another workspace and back forces an update.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xmonad-0.11-9.fc20.x86_64 xmonad-mate-0.11-9.fc20.x86_64 mate-session-manager-1.6.1-4.fc20.x86_64 mate-settings-daemon-1.6.2-2.fc20.x86_64 mate-desktop-1.6.2-1.fc20.x86_64 mate-desktop-libs-1.6.2-1.fc20.x86_64
How reproducible:
Every time, for me anyway.
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to xmonad-mate desktop 2. Run any of the following - Network Manager | Edit Connections... - virt-manager - rhythmbox - various others
Actual results:
Application window stays frozen and does not update as you click or type in it.
Expected results:
Application window updates normally
Additional info:
Killing xmonad, then running "marco --replace" results in applications that redraw again. Interestingly, after doing that killing marco and restarting xmonad with "xmonad --replace" leaves the windows redrawing correctly, now under xmonad.
Killing xmonad, then running "xmonad --replace" without running the other WM in between does *not* fix the behaviout though.
