Description Cédric Bosdonnat 2013-10-23 20:37:41 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
  * open gnome-control-center
  * open the displays config
  * Change the external screen to be the primary display
  * Arrange the screens position to have the external screen on the left of the laptop screen
  * logout
  * login again

What happens:
  * no background
  * open and moving or closing a window or menu leaves artifacts on the screen

What is expected:
  * a background
  * fluent window drawing

Tested it on two different machines:
  * with i915: can reproduce the bug
  * with nouveau: can't reproduce the bug (background still missing)

To get back a proper display:
  * unplug the external screen
  * wait for the gnome-shell bar to appear on the laptop screen
  * plug the external screen again

/var/log/message shows some potentially interesting errors:
