Hello,

Since being able to install the new beta nvidia drivers and try out compiz via
xorg, I have had this minimization problem where the window being minimized
displays "trails" of the minimization animation. In order to illustrate my
point, please take a look at:

(sorry for the imageshack, best place I could find for the moment)

I do not have this problem with the beryl window manager however I intend to use
compiz so please let me know if there are any additional information you may need.

At first I thought it may be a driver issue, but after contacting nvidia, they
said it was not.

I will include some system information:

gentoo 2006.1, GCC 4.1.1, Xorg, Nvidia 9625, cairo 1.2.4


Also I do not believe I am the only one as I have seen at least one user with an
intel video card claim that he has this exact problem.

The problem is caused by the Compiz plugins not being initialized correctly
because of bad gconf settings.  Basically you need to reset all of the Compiz
settings via gconf.  This post describes it well:
