I can't fix bugs if no one reports them! If something is broken please
let me know, especially for something as fundamental as windows. On
that note, please complain about bugs in the form of bug reports and
not off handed slights. It's not fair and it makes those contributing
feel bad. Let's stay constructive here! If you already reported it,
well, heckle as much as you like.

Can you explain how it is "still present from stumpwm's point of
view?" maybe with a screenshot or something? Can you also post your
manual window GC?

Thanks.
