[Bug 396152] [NEW] Guest screen flickers when a composite window is shown on host

[Mathieu Leplatre]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: virtualbox-ose

Host: Jaunty, with Compiz enabled
         virtualbox-ose 2.1.4-dfsg-1ubuntu3
         NVidia driver 185.18.14 with dual-head settings (Twin-view)
Guest: XP with Virtualbox addons

Every time a new notification appears/disappears, or every time Docky
hides/unhides, the guest screen flickers. Since it does not happen with
normal windows, I guess this is related to Compiz and composite windows.


This bug is likely to be reported in NVidia or Virtualbox bug trackers,
but can't guess who is accountable for this kind of problem...
