Hi folks. I'm seeing much the same problem with several apps that put up a splash screen on launch. The splash graphics clear, but I'm left with this black rectangle in the middle of the screen that sits on top of everything else. Closing the app doesn't remove it; nothing in system monitor; xkill terminates whatever window is under it; only way I've found to clear it is to restart the DE or log out/in. Not 100% consistent, but pretty reliable with Eclipse, MySQL Workbench, TheBrain (aka PersonalBrain), and a couple of others. Have not seen this with Unity or Gnome Shell (n.b.: just installed the latter, so little time using it as yet.)
Running Cinnamon 1.4 on Ubuntu Precise, nVidia graphics with proprietary driver.

Any / all thoughts appreciated.
