Hi,

With latest SVN source and libcairo-dev-1.6.4 a black bar is painted at the
bottom of each window.  Anyone else experiencing this?  Or better, knows a
workaround or patch for this?

I can use xlib, or art, but xlib is flickering, and art cannot enumerate
the freetype fonts.

I can submit a bug report if it is appropriate.

I am running Debian sid.

        Thomas

It does this when not handling it's own window decorations.  The work
around is to write the window decoration default:

defaults write NSGlobalDomain GSX11HandlesWindowDecorations NO


but it might be nice to submit a bug report anyway, so some one can
remember to look at it.
