            Bug ID: 1061568
           Summary: Certain X applications do not update window correctly
                    under xmonad
           Product: Fedora
           Version: 20
         Component: xmonad
          Severity: urgent
          Assignee: mathstuf at gmail.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.
