Window border issue with Lite Cleaner when compton enabled

[vaikus84]

Hello Linux Lite devs

Discovered an "Lite Cleaner" issue when using compton compositor.

I'm using this compton configuration: ( any suggestion from compton gurus? )

Code:

backend = "glx";
paint-on-overlay = true;
glx-no-stencil = true;
glx-no-rebind-pixmap = true;
vsync = "opengl-swc";

# These are important. The first one enables the opengl backend. The last one is the vsync method. Depending on the driver you might need to use a different method.
# The other options are smaller performance tweaks that work well in most cases.
# You can find the rest of the options here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/perf-guide, and here: https://github.com/chjj/compton/wiki/vsync-guide


# Shadow
shadow = true;            # Enabled client-side shadows on windows.
no-dock-shadow = true;        # Avoid drawing shadows on dock/panel windows.
no-dnd-shadow = true;        # Don't draw shadows on DND windows.
clear-shadow = true;        # Zero the part of the shadow's mask behind the window (experimental).
shadow-radius = 7;        # The blur radius for shadows. (default 12)
shadow-offset-x = -7;        # The left offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-offset-y = -7;        # The top offset for shadows. (default -15)
shadow-exclude = [
"! name~=''",
"n:e:Notification",
"n:e:Plank",
"n:e:Docky",
"g:e:Synapse",
"g:e:Kupfer",
"g:e:Conky",
"n:w:*Firefox*",
"n:w:*Chrome*",
"n:w:*Chromium*",
"class_g ?= 'Notify-osd'",
"class_g ?= 'Cairo-dock'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-notifyd'",
"class_g ?= 'Xfce4-power-manager'"
];

# The shadow exclude options are helpful if you have shadows enabled. Due to the way compton draws its shadows, certain applications will have visual glitches
# (most applications are fine, only apps that do weird things with xshapes or argb are affected).
# This list includes all the affected apps I found in my testing. The "! name~=''" part excludes shadows on any "Unknown" windows, this prevents a visual glitch with the XFWM alt tab switcher.

# Fading
fading = true; # Fade windows during opacity changes.
fade-delta = 4; # The time between steps in a fade in milliseconds. (default 10).
fade-in-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading in. (default 0.028).
fade-out-step = 0.03; # Opacity change between steps while fading out. (default 0.03).
#no-fading-openclose = true; # Fade windows in/out when opening/closing

detect-client-opacity = true; # This prevents opacity being ignored for some apps. For example without this enabled my xfce4-notifyd is 100% opacity no matter what.

# Window type settings
wintypes:
{
  tooltip = { fade = true; shadow = false; };
};

Thank you in advance,

Hello vaikus84,
Thank you for reporting.
That is showing up whenewer 'gksudo -g' is being used to give elevated user permissions.
-g is unnecessary option here
It's used to disable the "locking" of the keyboard, mouse, and focus done by the program when asking for a password.
In other words, when -g is used it will prevent the user from changing to another window until the the password is entered or canceled.

This command will 'fix' the 'issue'

Code:

sudo sed -i 's/gksudo[ ]-\g/gksudo/g' /usr/scripts/clean/*
