While I've got your attention, is the big white rectangles bug still in the list?
It's in the list, but it probably won't be tackled in 2.3.2
No worries.
I have a datum for you. I'm running 2.3.2rc1 (now) in full screen mode. When I start X11 usually as a side effect if starting an X11 client, my few windows or so come up on the Apple desktop. I believe these are the apps that start ahead of the window manager itself.
Anyway, once its up I have a large white rectangle on _both_ the Apple desktop and on the X11 full-screen desktop, in the original location of a terminal window that is started. Likewise the clock. Both of these get reparented by the window manager when it starts a bit later. Hopefully this helps characterise things some more.
Hmm... I was working under the impression that it was override-redirect windows specifically, but this implies that it's any window that is not re-parented... this is most odd...
This is possible. Do you expect the rectanlges to persist after the window _is_ reparented? Hmm, I guess so, since I'm imagining that it's an artifact of making a apple-land window to enclose the X11 window? Also, I occasionally have an X11 window appear in apple-land (eg while I'm off in apple-land using another app, and the X11 window gets created). Alt-TAB to X11 and the window gets sucked into X11 and vanishes from apple-land. I would add that this is similar to my "early" X11 apps that also appear in apple-land until I switch into X11 full screen mode. Except that the "later" app window doesn't seem to leave a white rectangle behind (the X11 window manager is up then, possibly related).
