New windows for a short time show rubbish

Hi! Sorry for my English. Start X-server with the parameter -wm significantly increases (a sense of) interactivity of windows operations: resize, move, minimize/maximize, etc. The document "Xlib - C Language X Interface" is written: "When no valid contents are available for regions of a window and either the regions are visibe or the server is maintaining backing store, the server automatically tiles the regions with the window's background unless the window has a background of None. If the background is None, the previous screen contents from other windows of the same depth as the window are simply left in place as long as the contents come from the parent of the window or an inferior of the parent." Unfortunately, for many apps (Firefox, OpenOffice.org, SMPlayer, etc.) it does not work when X-server started with the parameter -wm: new windows for a short time show rubbish, remains in memory, instead of the screen contents from other windows of the same depth. Please, fix it. Thank you very much.
