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
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...
