Do you have a screen shot for us to see?

Here's an image

I found that Chromium, when opened, was showing only 80% of the browser. When I commented out xcompmgr -fF -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 -D2 -m.83 & in autostart and rebooted then Chromium opened up showing a full browser.

Tried to replicate this failure but no problems here.

Yeah it's a glitch with chromium to fix it:
1) Right click in the top of chromium and tell it to use the system titlebar

2) then in rc.xml add this to the applications section near the bottom

    <application name="chromium">
      <decor>no</decor>
    </application>

I removed and re-installed xcompmgr-dana and the same thing happened plus firefox-aurora as well. Removed it and re-installed xcompmgr and chromium and firefox do it with xcompmgr as well. If I click on the missing part of the browser it returns piece by piece. Recommented xcompmgr in autostart, rebooted and all is well. I removed xcompmgr as I don't use it.

Thanks Will for the tip but I just removed xcompmgr.

Thanx for this. But don't work for me.
I'm adding code to rc.conf and start Google Chrome. It's %80.
When i tell it to use system titlebar, start %100.

Sorry for my Eng.
