Details

Description:

After login, cinnamon-desktop starts with a blurred and extremely bright background. Items (menu, window , etc.) remain visible in the background (with transparency) after closing (like a branding in the backgound picture). See attached picture.

This issue disappears after changing the background.

I have tested this with arch and two arch-based distributions in a virtualbox-vm (v 4.3.18): fresh installation of arch, antergos, manjaro with cinnamon 2.4.3.1 as desktop-environment.

Additional info:
* package version: cinnamon 2.4.3-1 (x86_64)

It's a driver bug in VirtualBox, so please report this problem to VirtualBox developers (if not already reported by someone else):
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Bugtracker

As a workaround, you can:
- Use 'Cinnamon (Software Rendering)' session.
- Disable 3D acceleration in the settings of the virtual machine.
