[Workaround] DWM:Residual Window Content - No redraw of the background

Hi, everyone.

I recently installed Arch Linux on my new HP Envy 17. Most of it works fine with some issues. One of them is kinda annoying, as DWM seems not able to correctly  redraw the background, which leaves the content of the last window on it. Gnome 3 and Classic works fine.

Thanks!

Later I found out if I don't use gdm, and start dwm by 'startx', it works fine. Then I tried to change my login manager to lightdm. DWM works without issue. It looks it's a driver issue, and I'm glad it fine this workaround to saving myself of troubleshooting it.
