Description
Created attachment 149696 XWinInfo before the situation is replicated
When a compositing window manager such as metacity with XRender compositing, mutter, KWin or compiz replaces a non-compositing window manager or replaces a compositing window manager, or a non compositing window manager replaces a compositing window manager (but not when a non compositing window manager replaces a non compositing window manager), GNOME-Terminal has it's window xid set to something else and moves itself to the top left hand corner of the screen, usually just below the top panel.
Attached are copies of xwininfo for before and after a the situation is replicated.
