Re: Pixmaps Disappear Upon Video Mode Change

+cc Fred for visibility

I can repro this on Debian with 0.29.0 and Cairo backend with empty
NSGlobalDefaults.plist
- start SystemPreferences.app
- click on an icon, go back, see that it paints correctly
- xrandr --output DP-0 --mode 1920x1200
- (if xcompmgr is running) observe icons are still fine, click on an
icon, go back
- observe icons are not painting
- xrandr --output DP-0 --mode 2560x1440 to go back to the old setup


Xylemon,

- Which gnustep-back backend?
- Where does the build come from?
- Have you also tried with the latest base+gui+back?

If you choose to build from source, it's not terribly hard, but you
should uninstall everything GNUstep. And then also make sure you
eliminate /etc/GNUstep/ directory before rebuilding -- otherwise you
might confuse the build system that there is a GNUstep installation on
the system even though you uninstalled everything first.
