The trail of windows produced by dragging a window only happens when the window crosses the background, it does not happen when crossing another window. The background "white-out" happens every time I access gnome-control-center via the icons in the right hand corner of the top panel and randomly at other times. As before using the mac/special/windows key to swap to the task-switcher fixes things, but gets tiresome :P There must surely be a way to fix this? John
