Re: Unrelieved black popups and message boxes [SOLVED?]

Remember that problem I had, with unrelieved black in pop-up windows or
un-minimized applications?
Well, if you remember: on Saturday, April 27, the kernel development
team pushed a new version of the kernel at that time. They've pushed one
since then, so I am using version 3.8.9.200.
Since the version immediately before that, I have not had one single
problem with pop-up windows going black (or with KDE windows going
transparent, which was a change in KDE's behavior from all-black to
transparent several months ago).
This convinces me that the kernel, or any of a number of packages that
accompany it, was at fault--and somewhere in the development process,
something the kernel development team did for the last version before
the current one, solved the problem with unrelieved black windows when
running on Intel processors.
Naturally if this happens again, I'll be back. But now I know where to
file the bug against: the kernel, or one of its associated packages.
Probably associated with the video driver kmod. I don't recall which
card you use and if you used noveau or whatever, but that's the likely
candidate.
