[Bug 59335] Re: ghost borders appear in top-left of 8bit display with Human theme

[Jörg Höhle]

Daniel,
I assume you're talking about the blue border issue.
The video driver is i810 module version = 1.4.1 (laptop onboard Intel video chip).
I don't use compiz or beryl (never heard of). compiz is not installed, and beryl not found as package in Synaptic.
I don't believe it's related to bug #34435, as I've not observed any defects with buttons or scrollbars.
The other themes with the same symptoms are listed in the initial bug report (Human, Silicon, Outdoors).

Instead there seems to be a very clear relationship between the blue
border and the windows of exactly the same size. I suspect the engine
drawing code somehow gets that part of its drawing job wrong, somehow,
and always uses coordinate 0,0 as upper left corner.

As the laptop's 4 partitions are currently all in use, I won't be able
to test Edgy for some time.

As for the color parts of my bug report, I realize that I should have
put that into a separate bug entry. X seems to do an extremely bad job
on color allocation for 8bit displays on this laptop (hmm, I haven't
tested the Suse partition on this laptop with 8bit). I'm surprised,
because I've used 8bit color displays for a decade on SunOS & Solaris,
and can't remember the visual impression being that bad.
