I've just installed FC2 and can't help but notice that an annoyance I've seen in RH/Fedora python-based utilities since, at least, 7.3, is still around. That is, when I switch away from one of these little apps, say, up2date, to another desktop, and then switch back to the desktop with the application, none of app's display text is visible. Sometimes the text reappears in a few seconds, sometimes after several minutes, sometimes not at all. This has happened on a variety of machines using a variety of video cards and monitors. Obviously, progress bars and dialogue prompts are useless if they are void of text. Right now, I'm running up2date to refresh that initial install, and it looks like a box of alternating red, gray and white bands. The only way I can tell it is still running is the slowly rotating mouse cursor. What's going on? Am I just cursed, or is this something that's lingered unfixed for years?
