Bug Description

From IRC discussion:

- the bottom part of the dash (the border kind of thing) flickers to fully transparent and then a few frames later it repaints
- it happens when there's a window under the border that gets damaged
- but it must damage only the border, not the normal dash background
- i see it when my xchat's statusbar updates and somehow it's always below the border part

I suspect this may be the same issue as bug 1070735, which has a fix pending.

I don't think this is happening anymore for some time, probably was fixed with the fix for bug #1070735. As such, I'm going to mark Fix Released. If this does indeed still occur, we can either reopen this bug report or open a new one.
