I have an odd problem with checkboxes in gui dialogs: they don't show any checkmarks. If I click on a checkbox, a checkmark will appear for a fraction of a second then disappear. From the program's behavior I can tell that the setting got set but it is obviously difficult if one can not see which boxes are checked in a dialog and which aren't.
This problem seems to be limited to Gnome apps (the ones with the new -- at least to someone coming from F15 -- and really unpleasant UI design). For example, brasero exhibits the effect but k3b doesn't.
Does this problem ring a bell with anyone?
Yes, I had this problem today - with kvm, or perhaps virt-manager. I was running a virtual instance of WindowsXP, and wanted to activate the USB port to talk with a TomTom GPS device. When I clicked on the appropriate box, a check appeared, then disappeared. The USB port was, in fact, activated, but that behaviour is quite unsatisfactory.
I, too, am running F21 and Xfce4. I studiously avoid Gnome.
