<pre>By default awesome uses a visual with depth=32 for all of its windows. AFAIK
(someone who can reproduce this, please test), starting awesome with the
--no-argb argument (= use the root window's visual) makes these problems go
away. Also, AFAIK all kinds of screenshots show the correct data.
Oh and once upon a time (but couldn't reproduce) I saw Xephyr having this
problem, but moving the mouse pointer across the affected area of the tasklist
made the expected/real content visible (at least for the part that the mouse
pointer touched). I have no clue about the server, but this sounds like
software cursor "fixing" things?
Also, I could be mixing several different bugs which just have similar results.
At least the depth=32 might be a useful hint.
Paul, do you know if --no-argb works around these problems for you?</pre>
