Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start gnome-terminal.

2. Start Rhythmbox in debug mode:

# rhythmbox -d

3. Start playback in Rhythmbox. (Maybe this is optional, maybe not. I guess this ensures that fresh output is sent to the gnome-terminal window continuosly, which may help to reproduce the bug.)

4. Switch back to gnome-terminal: the main part of the terminal window goes blank. If this step doesn't produce the bug, try walking around a bit on the desktop, switching windows, minimizing the terminal window etc. Also, when the bug appears, maximizing or resizing back the gnome-terminal window will make the debug output reappear. Walking a bit around the open windows, then returning to gnome-terminal may reproduce the bug again and again.

I've got an iMac 2006 and I often work with emacs and terminal.
Sometimes, when I switch from chrome and my emacs or terminal windows, I get this strange behavior: the text is visible no more.
I must change the terminal's font or the emacs' theme to get the text again.

I don't have this issue with my Macbook 4.1
