What is weird is the "ghost image" shows up on each workspace not just the one where I played the YouTube video. I can also see the traces of the "ghost image" on other YouTube videos I play if I have not logged out and logged back in again. So I don't know how the "xkill" would work on other workspaces. > > Speaking of your browser, which one do you use?
