I haven't seen it like this, but when I run virgl with the SDL backend
(which is required to get a GLES host context on the desktop linux)
resizing or moving to another virtual screen and back will result in a
black window with a simple X window manager (like backbox). I noticed
that with the gnome desktop inside the guest this didn't happen. 
I think there is a problem with when the desktop is redrawn, it isnot
always signalled. I even have a little script to force a redraw that I
can run from an ssh console. 

export DISPLAY=:0 
xrandr --output Virtual-1 --off 
xrandr --output Virtual-1 --auto 

Actually, I just noticed that when I turn off the compositing on my
desktop then it is worse. Movong the window or overlapping anather
window results in all black, and only with these commands above I can
bring it back.

I think it must be a SDL/qemu problem that it doesn't send the refresh
command properly. 

Best,
