KDE version: 4.4.5 <br>

</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Iceweasel </font><font
face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> (Debian's rebranded Firefox)
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">version 3.5.16<br>
Installed add-ons: Firefox Personas 1.6.1, Strata Reloaded 2.6.5<br>
Installed persona: Mozilla Sky (number 15016)<br>
<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Running a full KDE
or Gnome session works.<br>
Interestingly enough, KDE applications work in rootless mode, too
(if you followed my earlier posts, you will remember I have issues
with this on a Ubuntu 10.04 LTS/Lucid Lynx server).<br>
<br>
However, I'm seeing strange display errors when running Iceweasel
as a rootless application - when using a persona.<br>
<br>
The background images used by the persona are occasionally painted
*over* the URL bar/forward/backward buttons etc. after opening one
of the menus, moving the mouse cursor along between the different
drop-down menus (File, Edit, etc.) and closing the menu again.<br>
<br>
This does not happen when personas are disabled.<br>
It happens no matter which persona I use (I've tried two different
ones).<br>
Also, disabling or enabling the "Strata Reloaded" add-on doesn't
change anything.<br>
<br>
On the client side, I tried to disable "Direct Draw" and "Deferred
Screen Updates", but that doesn't help, either.<br>
"Disable X Agent Encoding" seems to help, but blacks the entire
available screen with a NX background (kind of like running
nxagent locally), so it's not really usable.<br>
<br>
So it seems to be a combination of rootless mode + Iceweasel +
Personas Add-On + any persona.<br>
<br>
Interestingly enough, using a persona in Firefox on my
KDE-troubled Ubuntu machine works just fine. That's Firefox
3.6.14, though.<br>
<br>
How can this be fixed?<br>
<br>
Kind Regards,<br>
Stefan<br>
