I get a large volume of e-mail, and very often I interact with a site that brings up a lot of message boxes, "suggestion boxes" (for auto-filling from a few keystroke clues), and bringing up apps after they were minimized to the system tray or the task bar. Now why is it that, after maybe two hours of operation, those popups come up and are totally black? The only way to solve the problem, that I have found, is to shut down. And even then, I can't even see what I'm doing, but haveto guess where the icons are for executing a controlled shutdown. (I canalways bring up a command-line login screen, log in as root, and thenshut down. But that doesn't seem to solve the problem for the next sessi on.)And when I log back on, everything's fine--until it starts happening again, after several more window draws. What could be causing this? Where do I even look for error logs and the like? I never had this problem in any other version of Fedora. I'm having it now, and it's driving me nuts.For the record, I used the "upgrading from F17 to F18 using yum" method.I even used the elaborate script that walks you through rpmnew and rpmsave reconciliation. And I've kept up with every system update since then. Actually, the problem began about three kernel updates back. TemlakosWhich desktop are you using? Did you try with another theme? Did you try another desktop?Regards, LailahTo answer your questions: 1. KDE2. I don't know that KDE has more than one theme. I use a simple theme, with an ever-changing desktop background.3. I'm a Gnome drop-out. Tried XFCE once; it failed. TemlakosIt has different themes. Go to System Settings => Applications Appearance => Styles. There you change your windows theme. Under Colours you change windows colours. And it you go to Workspace Appearance => Window Decoration and Desktop Theme, you can change the look and feel of your plasma desktop.Hope this helps, LailahPD: If you are a drop out of Gnome, like me, may be you would like to try Cinnamon and Mate.Just tried changing themes, and fine-tuning, going from very-high CPU to high CPU.No joy. Not only that, but the black popup/new window effect manifested itself almost at once after I made the change.To clear this, I had to log out, then log back in. Naturally I reset everything to default:Theme: Oxygen Graphics effect: Low screen resolution and very high CPU.
I'm getting this on one of my laptops which is running Gnome. I don't think this has anything to do with KDE. That laptop has an Intel video chipset.
My other hardware that's running nouveau is not having that particular issue. One laptop has a different display issue, but not this one.
