IIRC, this is something that the window manager is doing.

I bet both the demo and your app are clearing the window background with 
glClearColor(0,0,0,0) - that is, with alpha=0.  If you set alpha=1, does 
that clear it up?

Which window manager are you using?  Maybe you need to change some 
compositing setting.
