[solved]Persistence, remanence or afterglow

Hi all,
I'm posting here because I have a problem of persistence/remanence/afterglow with my laptop (DELL 6430u with XFCE). Indeed, I always have the firefox icon stuck on the top left corner of my screen even if I change my desktop and I don't know how to fix it.
It couldn't be a problem but it is hiding the first characters when I'm using terra.
Any idea is welcome.

Here is the specification of my video card :
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
    Subsystem: Dell Device 0584
    Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx+
    Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx-
    Latency: 0
    Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 48
    Region 0: Memory at f7800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
    Region 2: Memory at e0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M]
    Region 4: I/O ports at f000 [size=64]
    Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: i915
    Kernel modules: i915

Here is a screenshot illustrating my problem :

4p1C, please use a thumbnail instead of this huge screenshot. 1.5MB is way too much: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code

4p1C,
Hi.  Sorry, I think you and I may have been modifying the post at the same time.  Feel free to update it.  Your original structure was almost right for posting a thumbnail -- both your img and url references pointed to the same large file.  If you had made the img tags refer to the thumbnail picture while the url tags point to the full size image, you would have it.

It appears that you may have some tray application running.  Maybe you could post the output of ps -ef .

Edit:  Also, I don't think this is a laptop issue; but lets wait and see.  I may move this thread to Applications and Desktop Environments.

Hi ewaller,
I thought the problem was between the graphical chipset and xorg, that's why I put my question here. But, as you can see, anyone has an idea about it. So, if you think, it's better at "Applications and Desktop Environments", could you move it there please ?
Thanks

Well,
I answer lately, the problem was the compositor. If I disable it, everything's fine.
I mark the topic as solved
