White boxes sometimes appear

[Vadim Peretokin]

Sometimes white boxes like this appear in the indicator - see screenshot. Using default themes, not tweaked or etc.

Hi there.

Can you please provide your glxinfo output as well as a description of your GPU?

Also, does these white boxes appear at random places, or just beside the presense status chooser?

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Seldomly and at random GTK+ places. My GPU is a high-end GTX 560 one.
