i am running xfce4, and when i log in, there are a few white pixels in the upper right hand corner of the display. not present when i'm in the command prompt outside of xfce. shows up on a screenshot (attached). small thing, but i keep noticing it when watching things in fullscreen, especially if it's letterboxed for wider aspect ratios.
this is blown up to about 850% to make them really obvious.
thanks!
--edited to add:
the laptop has an integrated Intel UHD 620. i tried some tweaks from the intel graphics page of the wiki, such as setting AccelMethod to UXA, but there was no change after rebooting. also firefox performance tanked, so i switched it back to SNA.

few white pixels in the upper right hand corner of the display
"gray"? "left"?
Might be a hot corner window, try to run "xprop" and "xwininfo" and when the cursor turns into a "+" click the white pixels.
Post the outputs.
If that's not it: artifact from the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xfwm#Composite_manager ?

Post your xorg log and likely just remove xf86-video-intel.

Seems ibus-ui-gtk3 is trying to create a 6x0px window (what is not a thing)
ps -p 1077 # _NET_WM_PID will change w/ a new session
[ 17.247] (II) IGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[ 17.247] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0
Remove xf86-video-intel (that'll likely not address the immediate issue but at lease you'll no longer rendering in software emulation)
Edit:
[ 16.718] (**) |-->Screen "Default Screen Section" (0)
[ 16.718] (**) | |-->Monitor "<default monitor>"
[ 16.719] (==) No device specified for screen "Default Screen Section".
Using the first device section listed.
[ 16.719] (**) | |-->Device "Intel Graphics"
grep -ri intel /{etc,usr/share}/X11/xorg.conf*
There's an explicit reference to the driver in some config file that you need to remove, too.
If you cannot fix this through ibus-ui-gtk3 you might be able to unmap or lower the window (though this is clearly a bug in ibus-ui-gtk3)

really weird to be able to click and drag a thing that's been bugging me for weeks.
There's an explicit reference to the driver in some config file
would that be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf? currently that file contains the following:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"
Option "TearFree" "false"
Option "TripleBuffer" "false"
Option "SwapbuffersWait" "false"
# Option "NoAccel" "True"
# Option "DRI" "False"
EndSection
which line(s) should i delete or comment out or edit? i've been having some performance issues with video since tweaking things - playback stutters and drops frames with 1080p stuff on youtube, and i think this machine should be entirely capable of playing that smoothly.
re: ibus, i reset the config on it and will try reinstalling the packages i was using (Japanese input) again, and see if the issue comes back with one of those packages. it's gone for now.

would that be /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf?
Yup.
which line(s) should i delete
The entire file.

and just like that, huge performance boost. thank you so much!
neither of the IMEs i used seem to have brought the problem back. resetting the ibus config seems to have fixed things. marking as solved.
