Hello!


We discovered recently that upgrade to Sl 6.7 broke ferret.

Trying to plot with ferret give a false-transparent window (the 
window that get some screenshot of desktop image that is located 
behind it) and does not show the results of plot.
My explanation il a little buggy, so I send a png-file with 
screenshot  in attachment.

After some research we found that the problem come from 
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36.sl6.x86_64 package.

1) - install xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36.sl6.x86_64
- reboot
- could not plot with ferret

2) - downgrade this package (adding manually Sl 6.6 repos)

yum downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg
[skip]

Installed:

- reboot
- ferret plots works well again


For the moment I could not give more information about that 
exactly is broken in xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36.sl6.x86_64 
if you have some ideas how-to find the source of this problem 
your are very welcome.
