Description:
XFCE's Terminal has an annoying display glitch. It tends to get redrawn badly when switching virtual desktops from firefox to a desktop with terminal - what occasionally happens is, that the border of the terminal is shown, while the contents of the window are kept from the firefox window - if you move the terminal window a bit, it gets redrawn properly.

I have no idea what's the culprit here - whether firefox, or terminal, or my window manager, or the xorg stack, but I would rule out the WM since it happens only with this particular application (it doesn't even happen with gnome-terminal.

Additional info:
terminal 0.2.8.3-2
xorg-server 1.5.3-4
xf86-video-ati 6.10.0-1
firefox 3.0.6-1
enlightenment E17 (from SVN some time ago)


Steps to reproduce:
1) open terminal
2) switch to desktop with maximized firefox
3) switch back to desktop with terminal
4) repeat until corruption occurs
This task depends upon

What happens when you run it with a different windowmanager, something like metacity for example?
