[SOLVED] GTK2/QT window decorations broken on maximize in GNOME 3.12.2

When maximizing non-GTK3 (GTK2/QT4) applications in GNOME 3.12.2, the window decorations are not properly displayed. This happens regardless when maximizing via the shortcuts, dragging the window, or double-clicking the title bar. Here is one particularly bad example:

Hovering the mouse over the missing areas, or focusing a different window restores the decorations. Google or the GNOME Bugzilla didn't bring further clues, but I didn't have this problem in GNOME 3.10 (or FWIW, Cinnamon 2.2).

My specs:

Re: [SOLVED] GTK2/QT window decorations broken on maximize in GNOME 3.12.2

I'm having a smiliar problem in Flubox with qt4 applications, however not only related to fullscreen.
Even qtconfig-qt4 is broken in its appearance. nVIDIA gfx card here and everything up to date.

Downgrading qt4 package doesn't seem to help hmm

Virtualbox is also broken in its GUI, gives console messages like:

Qt WARNING: X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
  Major opcode: 62 (X_CopyArea)
  Resource id:  0x0

EDIT: No need saying but No I haven't changed any qt/gtk/whatever configuration in between.

EDIT2: Picture here

Re: [SOLVED] GTK2/QT window decorations broken on maximize in GNOME 3.12.2

Ok, problem seems to be with how X is started, shared memory policies being changed in QT4 (to be more restrictive) and the X server not having permission to access it.

This is a temporary workaround for others with the same issue:

export QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

EDIT: My .xinitrc contains "exec startfluxbox", otherwise I'm running Slime login manager. Anyone with a suggestion how to properly fix this?

Re: [SOLVED] GTK2/QT window decorations broken on maximize in GNOME 3.12.2

I'm also encountering this serious bug (gnome shell 3.13.2 on gentoo), but i have found that exporting

CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling

fixes it.

Nope, doesn't seem to fix it, sadly.

Re: [SOLVED] GTK2/QT window decorations broken on maximize in GNOME 3.12.2

Hm, that's strange, I'm using this now since days and haven't encountered the bug anymore.
Did you export the environment variable before X (gnome-shell) starts?

It seems like this is also coupled with the graphics driver, see comments in gnome bugzilla (comment 4)

Well I've enabled dri3 for xf86-video-intel and patched it; tried uxa and glamor, as well as my Radeon 6450, and the issue persisted.

Ah, I had exported it when X was running. exporting it before gnome-session solved it, thanks. big_smile
