    If you are having trouble with Expose (skippy-xd), having cropped screenshots or window preview with artifacts, which I had using Radeon driver, something like this:



    edit ~/.config/skippy-xd/skippy-xd.rc and change these to:
    useNameWindowPixmap = true
    includeFrame = true

    and save. Restart or at least logout and it should all be fine now.

    Yes most probably. Expose is such an useful feature that not being able to use it was really annoying, I'm so glad it is fixed now.

    As an update, turns out that not including frames also works fine, at least for me:



    So even if someone has this issue, he can try only changing "useNameWindowPixmap" to true:
    useNameWindowPixmap = true

    while "includeFrame" can remain false:
    includeFrame = false
