Bug#825658: release.debian.org: XFWM4 Compositor Issue - Patches released for LightDM-GTK-Greeter and XFWM4
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: important
This bug should really be reported to the Debian Stretch dev team, this bug was
not patched until after the Jessie release which has the bug. I could not find
an available option for the current Debian testing version in Reportbug, so I
am posting this here.
Back in Jessie there was an issue with XFWM4 and LightDM-GTK-Greeter where when
the XFWM4 Compositor setting was set to true. When logging in from LightDM
there is a few seconds of grey background before the desktop background
appears, it would be great to see this as a seamless transition once again.
This bug has continued on in Stretch running:
lightdm-gtk-greeter_2.0.1-2_i386
xfwm4_4.12.3-2_i386
I am not aware of the state of this bug in x64 Debian when running the relative
x64 packages.
Patches have been released for both above mentioned packages:
- xfwm4 > -DMONITOR_ROOT_PIXMAP patch
- lightdm-gtk-greeter > xsetroot patch
I have been looking into the issue here:
