[SOLVED]Invisible windows with xcompmgr in Xmonad

phabulosa · 2008-09-21 22:48:48

I am experiencing some strange problems in Xmonad with xcompmgr on.

Certain apps will be invisible (or 100% transparent) in start from dmenu, but not from a console/terminal.

I can use mod+shift+c to turn it off which means these apps are responding, just not visible.

This kind of apps identified so far include:

pavucontrol
notecase

Anyone can help me?

I fixed this problem by changing my xcompmgr options:

My original xcompmgr options are

xcompmgr -cC -fF  -t-20 -l-15 -r12 -o.75 &

Now, it is

xcompmgr -cCf -r 0 -D 2 &

I can see windows of pavucontrol or notecase now.
