Blackening of some screen areas

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Hi!

Anyone experienced the following problem:

I'm using XFCE4.8, and I seem to have a display problem when resizing the 
xfce4-terminal. Whenever I resize it, a large portion of my screen becomes 
black... This black area is always to the left of the terminal.

E.g., if I have the terminal in the upper right, grab its lower horizontal 
window frame and drag that down to the bottom of my screen, the left half of my 
screen goes black.

Also when I bring the terminal to the front after it having been covered behind 
other windows, or having been minimized, similar problems happen.

There are no error messages in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
