I have noticed since windows Vista +, that when running widgets for the first time on startup that a white box with a bevel appears around the widget to the extent of the widget window frame. Note this did not occur on Windows XP and appears to be related to the way that Windows desktop manager handles transparency-masked areas. This problem occurred first of all with Yahoo widgets but I have noticed it happening with Xwidgets too.
What this problem creates is a screen full of white borders surrounding each xwidget during startup. I am experiencing this at the moment in Windows 7 64bit ultimate but it is not limited to Win7 nor just this version.
By the time the system has finished the startup, the background has successfully redrawn so the issue resolves itself. However it does make widget startup look shabby.
What would fix this problem is if Xwidget instituted an optional delay in startup, for example a 30-45 second delay to allow Windows to sort itself out.
