I have managed to obtain at least some screenshot. (Usually when you
launch or switch to another application, including "take screenshot",
the dialog gets drawn correctly.)

Title:
  The "save changes before closing" and "find" dialogs are not properly
  displayed

Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  "The Cheshire Cat Glitch"

  I see this bug on each 4th Ctrl+F dialog and on almost each attempt to
  close a document tab without saving.

  0. I have Eclipse, Code::Blocks and Chromium (many windows of about 6
  tabs, Google and Stackoverflow) and Opera (many tabs) running. The
  last gedit tab reads "Untitled Document 25", the tabs contain copy-
  paste-d Android debug logs (long).

  1. Press the [x] (lose tab) control on, say "Untitled Document 24".

  2.
   (what I see) I see a shadow of a dialog but not the dialog itself. The [x] 
control is still pressed.
   (what I expect) My expectation is that the dialog is shown without any 
additional steps.

  3a. if you move mouse over the dialog (that is not shown but is
  logically there), the dialog controls appear one by one.

  3b. the whole dialog appears on the screen if you launch any
  application or switch to another application (including an attempt to
  take a screenshot).

  I have seen analogous misbehaviour with the "Find" (Ctrl+F) dialog.
  Sometimes I have seen the Find dialog partially transparent, like if
  it began to gradually appear but stopped in the middle. I also see it
  displayed ok or not displayer at all.

  The worst user experience happens while trying to close a modified
  document: the "save your changes" dialog does not appear, but the
  document is not closed, and the user has no idea what's going on. And
  yes, sometimes closing a modified document is a side effect of a
  shutdown (in which case the shutdown does not happen, and the user
  just switches the power off).
