Public bug reported: I haven't figured out when exactly this happens, but it happens frequently. At some point I notice a white rectangle overlaid in the upper right corner of my screen. It doesn't seem to be caused by any application because quiting all applications doesn't make it go away. The only way I can make it go away is to either logout and login again, or restart compiz from a terminal. I run:
`compiz --replace >/dev/null 2>&1 &` In a terminal to restart compiz. Even after doing this the blank white rectangle will re-appear at some point later. Sorry I can't pin point how to reproduce, but let me know if there something more I can get you.
