Description

When I attempt to start the compositing manager from withing the settings manager, the visual appearances changes in that the desktop is rendered in parts as gray, where the color will "tear" when the windows are moved around on it. Compositing manager or no, the desktop will also fail to render, and does not respond when clicked on. The attempt to start the compositing manager takes many seconds, and the startup time of XFCE is significantly slower than 4.4.0, too--perhaps due to this error.

Version: 4.4.x
