Here is a simple way to reproduce this bug (also confirming Andrey's earlier comment that this bug is exhibited by any window that is opened while a VT is inactive).
Steps to reproduce (in a system with nvidia driver and compiz enabled): 1. Login. 2. Open a terminal and do "sleep 15 && zenity --question" 3. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to a console. 4. Count to fifteen, slowly. 5. Hit Ctrl-Alt-F7 to get back to you gui session. Expected result: zenity should have put up a question dialog-box. Actual result: zenity's dialog-box is white. A screen-shot is attached ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of a zenity dialog box, drawn white." http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13991154/screenshot1.png -- [nvidia] compiz displays white screen when locked https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160264 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
