[Bug 42237] Re: Dapper Ubuntulooks: pressed buttons appear corrupted after windows are restored

[Laurentiu Pancescu]

Yes, I'm using the X.org radeon driver. I hadn't explicitly set EXA, so XAA was used (I checked in Xorg.0.log). Trying to set explictly XAA and EXA didn't help things, the corruption appears with EXA as well, but different: the background is some sort of light orange or light green, instead of black or those colored triangles.

There are more broken things when using EXA: the toolbar buttons appear without 3D effects in Epiphany as well, not just Rhythmbox.  In Epiphany, the Bookmarks buttons has a complete white background (no 3D-style shading), while Home and Find have a light gray background, also without the 3D effect.  The "normal" buttons in dialogs show the normal Ubuntulooks 3D effect, only the ones on the toolbars not.  I also noticed that the progress bar for login in Gaim is completely missing not only the 3D shiny look, but also the vertical lines: it looks like a simple rounded rectangle with a perfectly uniform orange shade. Everything described is this paragraph is just with EXA, I couldn't reproduce these problems with XAA.

However, the initial pressed button problem seems to solved by using XAA, if and only if I set RenderAccel to false.  Unfortuantely, with RenderAccel disabled, the darkening and lighting of the screen by gksudo make the entire display blink annoyingly (I have a CRT).  I don't have another video card to try it out (except for a Rage 128), but now it looks more like a radeon driver problem than a Ubuntulooks one.

During the tests today I used the latest update of xserver-xorg-driver-ati, 6.5.7.3-0ubuntu7 (yes, I restarted X after the update). The described effects in the initial bug report look exactly the same, though.
