Very Interesting Bug?

What I've noticed (while using XFCE, but I don't think that makes a difference) is:

* When I turn on my computer and start Arch Linux normally and open up documents in openoffice and a transparent terminal, this is what I notice:
** Scrolling in openoffice is a bit laggy when I scroll fast. Not a problem, but just odd.
** Terminal lags when I move it and it refreshes its transparent background.

However, when I switch the gtk theme, using switch2 and the xfce settings, the above issues disappear. I just switch to some random theme and switch back to my original one. When I scroll in openoffice quickly, there is no lag whatsoever. When I move the transparent terminal, refreshing of the background is instantaneous.

Any idea why this could be happening?

Check the xfce and/or gtk bug trackers to see if others are having this problem.  Maybe someone has posted a patch or workaround.

In all honesty, I have no idea what I'm going to search for...
