ARGB windows closing with white rectangle

[sillysloft]

I have installed fluxbox and compton compositor in archlinux. When I close an ARGB window with compton fading enabled, I get a white rectangle which then disappears. The maintainer of compton suggested it could be a problem with fluxbox. Indeed I saw that the white rectangle issue is present in some comment and recognized as a minor bug. Is it possible for you to solve it? Once done I would get a perfect system... Thanks!!! Gianluca

https://github.com/chjj/compton/issues/193 Pass --no-fading-destroyed-argb to compton

The happens because the parenting frame isn't unmapped - and it's somehow visible on ARGB drawables.

xcompmgr is affected just as much - every compositor might be.

updated patch to hide frame directly. otherwise the client is set iconic what's not helpful if it's not destroyed afterwards ;-) (on remaps, it will be minimized)
