Sometimes I have windows decorations broken in Xfce. Some parts of them (title bar in most cases) are black instead of VM color (but the title itself is properly rendered, just the background is wrong). When it happens, it affects (all) newly updated decoration, but until decoration got updated, it isn't broken. For example if I have two windows when the problem appears, one active and one inactive, and the I will open a third window, the new one will be affected, also the one previously active (because its decoration will be updated during active->inactive transition), but the one which was inactive will not be affected until something triggers decoration update.
Switching desktops apparently does not trigger decoration update.
This applies to all window - VMs and dom0. For example it looks like this:
Sometimes it happens not only to title bar (look at the right bottom corner):
Restarting xfwm4 (
xfwm4 --replace) helps for some time, but the issue returns shortly. It looks like only reboot fully solve the problem. Maybe some X server/driver problem, which happens to affect only window manager? I haven't tried to restart X server only.
