I think it's the same problem as we had with 
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36 and Ferret/R etc.

I posted a message here at 16.09.2015 with subject :
"rePost : SL6.7 problem with ferret/R and 
xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-36" about this problem.

For the moment
a) the solution is a downgrade to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.15.0-26

b) we know that the problem is that "updated Xorg server does 
not send the initial "expose" events" (thanks to Konstantin 
Olchanski)

c) And we know that the problem comes from 1.15.0-32 update (Fix 
backing store's Always mode).


I sent a mail to Adam Jackson ([log in to unmask]) the person who 
applied the 1.15.0-32 version...
But I have absolutely no reply from him... :-(


Thanks,
