Comment 99 for bug 328575

I'm not sure if this is important or not, but thought I'd add just in case...

I just discovered the problem in Ubuntu Jaunty running Root Terminal, something I rarely do. I installed the jaunty-proposed package as described by Martin, and at first, it gave me a blank screen. Then, I noticed that if I resized the window, it would redraw and be OK. This only happens with the root terminal, run gksu; it seems as if using sudo from a terminal works OK, and using gksu from a terminal sometimes worked, I believe (when it didn't re-prompt for the password).

But, I remembered I had tried out a Window Rule using a Compiz Window Management plugin that resized gnome terminal windows. After disabling this rule, the Gnome terminal worked normally at all times.
