screenshot of the problem.

I'm not sure what specifically causes the problem it seems to only happen from raised notifications. (I'm not actually sure this is a problem with intel drivers)... only started happening with qt-4.5 which supposedly intel has some bugs with (or vice versa?)
Comment 1 Caleb Cushing 2009-05-30 11:41:23 UTC
what actually happens is a notification raises, the hides itself leaving the desktop background showing through the app until I move/minimize the app or something

Hi Caleb,

Thanks for the bug report. I'm not sure if this is a driver-specific issue or not myself. One thing you could do to determine that is to run your X server with the vesa driver, for example to see if the bug is still present.

Also, I'd be interested to know if you've got a compositing manager running, and if so whether the behavior changes at all if you turn it off.

Thanks,

-Carl

hmm... I haven't noticed it in a while. I think it was fixed in one of the more recent drivers. whether I had compositing effects enabled in kwin didn't seem to matter. regardless I'm going to mark this fixed because I haven't noticed it in a while, probably since I updated to the 2.7.99.902 drivers... but not sure.
