The white rectangles are part of the "sticky" ingredients of an X11  
desktop. With blackbox WM I have two X11 desktops. I can change from  
one to the other and back and the white areas follow.

In Quartz after some switches from full-screen X11 to Quartz and back  
finally this blackbox root menu appeared:

You can see that parts of OmniWeb are wiped out. The Blackbox menu is  
unusable, i.e., I can select what I want and nothing happens ? except  
one thing: I switch from Quartz to X11. This effect is In Quartz  
restricted to the virtual desktop I launched X11.

When I open in X11 the blackbox menus the white blotch is partly  
rubbed out, i.e. the original X11 background becomes visible. But  
when I switch to Quartz it's all white again, in both worlds.

The switches from Quartz to X11 seem to involve sending some text or  
control characters. My Emacsen report invalid input (unbound/ 
undefined key events) like M-?. Could be such controls are also sent  
to the blackbox WM "dock" that select menus. At least a flashing and  
an X11 beep are often heard when I switch from Quartz to X11. The  
generation of this white spot is independent of the way I leave a  
blackbox menu (clicking into its dock or clicking into the background).

In X11 the scaled down Desktop Manager view of its virtual Quartz  
desktops appears although no Quartz application should sense the  
mouse cursor. The dock is not triggered to appear.
