Background flicker when switching desktops and closing windows #7

Closed firecat53 closed 11 years ago

firecat53 commented 11 years ago

Hey...more flickers of the desktop background I've noticed when: a. Switching between desktops b. Closing windows on a desktop that has other existing windows.

Thanks!

(The flicker when switching between windows is definitely gone now)

I've pushed a fix for the flicker when changing desktops in fullscreen mode. There's not alot I can do when a window is closed by it's own controls to remove the flicker. X doesn't notify about that with enough warning to handle it with the way I unmap/map windows in fullscreen mode. Until I can come up with an alternative method for doing the fullscreen mode that doesn't bring back old bugs and doesn't involve adding a timer or anything like that it's something we'll have to live with. I don't notice it with my i3 laptop but on the old pentium3 dell it lasts for less than .5 of a sec so it's not too bad here.
