Bits of a user's desktop visible on other user's desktop and GDM Screen Shield.

Leap 42.1 GNOME and proprietary Nvidia drivers.

I’m seeing an issue where when two users are logged in to the same machine, corrupted bits of user A’s desktop appear on the desktop background of user B’s session, or on the GDM Screen Shield that’s over the lock screen for user B’s session. It’s difficult to describe. I’ve put a screenshot of what I’m talking about at http://paste.opensuse.org/65432157 It’s of a session on tty2 logged in as user A. The bit of Firefox window visible on the Desktop background in that screenshot is from the session of user B that’s on tty7.

Does anyone else see this? I’ve no idea if it’s an openSUSE, GNOME, or Nvidia issue, or some combination of those. I haven’t found any references to it online, but maybe I’m not putting the rights terms in to Google. I struggle to describe the problem so maybe other people do too.

Restarting GNOME Shell (Alt-F2 then entering r) results in the corrupted background being replaced with the user’s chosen Desktop background.

I also find that sometimes that after unlocking a user’s session, the Desktop background will be entirely black instead of the user’s chosen Desktop background. Restart GNOME Shell also rectifies that.
