If I use this app to download a DSL package it opens several windows. If I use other X windows programs that cover the myDSL windows they don't get re-drawn/restored when I shut my other programs down.

Is this just me? It looks terrible.

Hi
I think this is a by-product of FLUA which is the programming language used for most of these scripts. This is especially true when FLUA does outside calls to bash scripts. While the script runs the window is not updated. If you open and close windows on top of these running windows they appear to blank out. When the script finishes running the window reappears as normal.

I haven't done a lot of FLUA scripting but that is what it looks like to me.

good luck
