Yeah, I was afraid something like that might happen, though I'm
surprised it blanks out the window.  Xfdesktop does definitely draw on
its window much differently than it did before, so it's possible it
won't work anymore.  It should be possible to hack root-tail to not
clear its window.  Though that wouldn't work either.  What it really
needs to do is send expose events to the window every time it blanks
regions, which I guess it isn't doing.
