Out of curiosity, is anyone whom is affected by this bug NOT using
Ubuntu?

I ask because i can't produce this bug and I am an Nvidia user
(302.11-beta) ... The only time i can produce white windows, is by
messing with the shadow radius settings in the 'window decoration'
plugin. Which i filed here;

https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/991662

Although, the bug from my report is actually worse, only because you
have to kill compiz and restart it to be able to use your desktop - it
can easily be avoided, so it has less impact on actual usage (as long as
you don't mess with shadow radius settings). I believe this window
whiting may be tied into the window decoration somehow (ie: if you use
compiz without a window decoration you won't get white windows at all.
(i tried this out, a month or so ago, when white windows were an issue
for me).

I was at one point experiencing this (related/duplicate) bug;

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/976189

but i ended up being able to avoid it by not using a window decoration
for maximized windows;

!(state=maxvert & state=maxhorz)

Which also leads me to believe (although, i could be wrong) that may be
this bug has something to do with window decorations, being as when i
was experiencing bug 976189 undecorating maximized windows stopped them
from appearing white.

I do still notice (at least with Firefox) that menu's when closing
(animation, in my case 'fade') do show some white for a split second,
but other than this i can't produce white windows of any kind.

NOTE: i do have a few nvidia driver (xorg) settings on my system, and am
not sure if they would make a difference here or not;


    	Option         	"RegistryDwords" "PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"	
    	Option 	   	"NoLogo" "1"
    	Option	   	"TripleBuffer" "1"
    	Option 	   	"DamageEvents" "1"
    	Option         "PixmapCacheSize"           "70000"
    	Option         "OnDemandVBlankInterrupts"  "True"

the rest of my specs can be found on my LP page;

I've also attached my flat-file config for compiz ( i don't use gconf-
backend )
