Details

When working with qemu, the window is often dynamically resized to fit suit the resolution of the running OS. size_hints_honor must be true to allow this resizing, manual resize is not allowed by the application.

Now, if the tag that the window is displayed on is not active during the automated resize, an artifact of the resized window will be visible on all tags. If the tag stays focused, the resize of the qemu window is not visible until the user attempts to moved or resize it manually.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Won't fix
Additional comments about closing:  No idea what is going on, but let's just blame qemu, compositing and the phase of the moon. Reopen if someone is actually bitten by this bug (which might still be in the compositor, X server etc).

Uhm, does this still happen? Could this be an issue with the X server? Do you use a compositing manager?
FYI, awesome doesn't have anything to do with the actual drawing of the window contents.

Not using Qemu anymore. No compositing. No problem with drawing window contents. But when I look at the sometimes impossible window placement behavior in case of openoffice, I guess there's still something very wrong. (I'm pretty sure I made a bugreport about this too...but since people pay so much attention, it probably doesn't really matter..)
