Thunderbird does not refresh window content after suspend #595

I have the same bug as in this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/981329 
and, as the bug seemed to have been resolved by fixing compiz, I'm wondering if 
it wouldn't be a xmonad problem in my case.

Doesn't seem likely; redrawing windows is between the application and the X 
server unless a compositing manager is configured, and Compiz is both a window 
manager and a compositing manager. If you are running something like compton to 
get compositing with xmonad, then that might be involved; try disabling it or 
changing its backend.

Ok I see. But the thing is: I don't have any compositing manager :/ I tried 
with and without but I got the same result in both cases.

Then your problem is likely with the xorg video driver. A window manager does 
not control that kind of redraw; it's between the application and the X server.

(Some versions of Gtk+ do have a bug where the Java window manager hack 
(setWMName "LG3D") causes it to not refresh under some circumstances.)
