Bug Description

Metacity nows leaves a black box when you minimize windows during a period of
high CPU use. Its really ugly. The only way I have found to fix it is to run
xcompmgr, and that only works sometimes. Thanks in advance.

I had black backgrounds in windows when refreshing but it disappeared a few days
ago. Does is still occur?
I think it is related to gtk/cairo, I remember some entry in a changelog about it.

GTK bug fixed with this upload:

gtk+2.0 (2.8.0-1ubuntu1) breezy; urgency=low
.
   * Add --enable-explicit-deps=yes to make sure stuff like x11 gets listed as a
     Requires: in gdk(-x11)-2.0.pc, because otherwise linkage against -lX11 and
     friends doesn't get carried through. Whether or not this is correct is
     arguable, since libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0* ends up linked against it anyway, but
     stuff like gnome-panel seems to be relying on this transience.
   * debian/patches/000_cvs_fix_black_flashes.patch:
     - patch from HEAD to fix flashing black rectangle on window switch and
       first view; handle pixmap == NULL case in gdk_window_set_back_pixmap.
