Package: nvidia-glx
Version: 270.41.06-1
Severity: normal
Since a few days (update of nVIdia drivers and Xorg), whenver I get a
'tray notification' (e.g. X-Chat, Rhythmbox), I get a black rectangle of
the same size as a notification on the top left of my screen. It just
becomes black. When drag a window over it, it becomes painted normally
again. It appears exactly when a 'tray notification' appears in the
lower right corner of my desktop.
I don't know if this is a bug in nVidia drivers or in the new Xorg...
Just reporting it here as a first guess...
