Re: [Plug] XFree locks up local console
|
In many business environments, people use the same program over and over and
over... The app screens never change or move except for field data. When
the image's borders and title bars etc. don't move or get covered by another
app, you get screen burn. I've seen many a monitor with the "ghost" of a
standard screen burned in.
