[Bug 52569] Incorrect background transparency

[Sebastian Breier]

Public bug reported:

Sometimes the background gets drawn incorrectly when using the "transparent
background" option in "effects".

I should note that I'm using a cronjob to change my desktop wallpaper every 10
minutes - I have not yet checked if stopping that prevents the problem, but it
doesn't fix it either.

Regular xchat had no problem with that, and I guess the transparency effect is
supposed to work correctly. :-)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Use xchat-gnome for some time

Actual results:
The background transparency shows a broken background.

Expected results:
The desktop background should correctly show through the xchat window.

Does this happen every time?
Only sometimes; Can't really determine when.
