That doesn't resolve the problem.

The conditions of reproducing this involve giving the window as little
reason to change. Moving and resizing will cause it to appear
properly. The precise conditions to reproduce this i do not know.

Note that i use a window manager that doesn't reparent windows, so
other window managers may hide this problem.
