Recipe:
1) Start X11.app and an XTerm
2) Control-RightClick in the xterm to bring up the "VT Fonts" window.
3) Release the window. (At this point X11 unmaps the window, but it's
still registered with the Xserver. You can tell this by bringing it
up again and seeing that it's quicker to appear now. The client
doesn't have to build the window, it just remaps it.)
4) Switch to a different user using FastUserSwitching
5) Switch back
6) See a "Strange White Rectangle" where the "VT Fonts" window once was.
It appears that X11.app still knows that the window shouldn't be
mapped, but the Apple's windowing system (Quartz, I guess) forgets and
tries to redraw the window. So, it's only partially redrawn, hence
the "Strange Whiteness".
7) You can get rid of the white window by either remapping the "VT Fonts"
window with a Control-RightClick or by exiting the xterm.
It happens consistently for me.
