Hmmm....the screenshots leaves me wondering about gnomes screenshot
capabilities :) .... answers two cases though:
http://www.nthroot.net/Screenshot.png
As you can see, shows the terminal missing text and text running on top of
each other. Using gnome-terminal.
As for the lines (which I can't manage to catch a screenshot of though I
quiet visibly see them. Also, not a monitor issue, I use this on a KVM
switch and lines doesn't appear on my win32 box), I have narrowed it down a
little:
1. It is only visible on light backgrounds, intermixes with dark
backgrounds so invisible.
2. It always seems to appear at the top and bottom of the *active* window.
Top line seems to always be the height of the dark top title bar. Bottom
line appears to be a tad shorter. Extends horizontally across the entire
screen and moves with the active window. (eg up, down, or constant if window
moved right/left).
Thanks,
-Peter
