Description Eduard Benes 2011-11-16 17:46:03 UTC

Description of problem:
On a setup (Lenovo X201) with two screens (arranged LCD above ntb-screen) when I change a screen brightness (in gnome) using hardware buttons, it leaves a "hole" in the app on the other screen where the brithness applet drawed the small status window. Through the "hole" you can see a cut out of a desktop background picture.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.10.4-6.el6.x86_64
gnome-desktop-2.28.2-8.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In a gnome setup a two-display layout and open an full screen app in both displays to cover the whole area, e.g. with gnome-terminal.
2. Change a brighness of the display using hardware buttons.
3.
  
Actual results:
A hole "cut out hole" in a screen appears on other display than mouse has focus on and you can see the background image.

Expected results:
No holes.

Additional info:
Lenovo X201 laptop, pretty new RHEL 6.2 installation (snap4).
I do not remember this to appear RHEL 6.1 before ... a regression? The "hole" is redrawn after the app with it gets a focus.
Not sure what's the correct component, therefore using gnome-desktop to get started.
