Fresh install of 4.1FE on my X1000. Updated Radeon drivers to 1.2. Enabled compositing in prefs/GUI.
Now get corruption on drawer and program titlebars. The corruption is actually gaps in the titlebar. This means that I can click through the gap and activated the window underneath.
I've never seen anything like it before, even in others' screen shots.
The only thing I can think of: do you have two graphics cards plugged into the X-1000? Someone else had problems only when he had two cards plugged in.

Thats what Hans said, 2 gfx cards with compositing turned on, a late bug.

Len, if you insist on posting jokes like this in the support forums, I'm going to have to request that they add a "like" button.
That was my first good chuckle of the new year.
Thought I would report some observations in the hopes they are helpful.
My present X1000 configuration in my X1000 includes two video cards — a RadeonHD 6850 and an older Radeon 9200. The 9200 PCI card is in a PCIe to PCI-X adapter, yielding me faster PCI slot than the two on the motherboard and thus the best possible Warp3D performance at the moment.
Perhaps unusual is that I have DOpus5 on my HD card almost all the time while Workbench relegated to the slower 9200 card. Resolutions are 1920x1200 for both. Reason Workbench is on 9200 card is that Blender will not launch even on its own screen unless Workbench is on 9200. I suspect this is Warp3d checking compatibility in a boneheaded way, but I could be wrong. Anyway, more and more I am using DOpus over Workbench because of added capabilities.
As mentioned in the similar thread on Amigans, with RadeonHD 2.4 driver and FE, I observed corruption in DOpus titlebars until I turned off compositing effects on that screen. No big deal. Don’t need effects there anyway.
But… am finding problems I cannot overcome now. Even with effects turned off on Workbench itself, there is corruption in graphics of Ace of Hearts when run on RadeonHD. If I run Ace of Hearts on 9200 things are too slow, so that is not an option. Even if I move Workbench to RadeonHD screen, I still get the corruption with Ace or Hearts in fullscreen mode. Also M.A.C.E. crashes on start in any configuration I have tried.
All works fine when booting from my OS 4.1 update 6 system partition.
Anyway, a lot of things work right in a lot of places in the OS and with new and old programs now. But something here has gone awry…. hoping these observations will help the effort to find a fix.
If the services of a tester using dual cards and displays could be of some use, I am happy to help in any way.
