Bug Description

Binary package hint: xterm

When I run xterm under compiz in natty, it never draws anything to its window; the contents of the window remain frozen at whatever was underneath the window when it started. Furthermore, it does not respond to mouse clicks; any mouse clicks to the window (including the title bar and border) get sent to the window below it.
