content after suspend
https://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=595

I have the same bug as in this one
https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/981329 and, as the bug seemed to have
been resolved by fixing compiz, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a xmonad
problem in my case.

Doesn't seem likely; redrawing windows is between the application and the X
server unless a compositing manager is configured, and Compiz is both a
window manager and a compositing manager. If you are running something like
compton to get compositing with xmonad, then that might be involved; try
disabling it or changing its backend.

Ok I see. But the thing is: I don't have any compositing manager :/ I tried
with and without but I got the same result in both cases.

Then your problem is likely with the xorg video driver. A window manager
does not control that kind of redraw; it's between the application and the
X server.

(Some versions of Gtk+ do have a bug where the Java window manager hack
(setWMName "LG3D") causes it to not refresh under some circumstances.)
