bug#16684: Sometimes a frame is not drawn properly

[E Sabof]

I don't have a reproduction recipe for this bug, but here are some characteristics.

The cursor might not be drawn on the frame. Sometimes the frame may also appear "blank" - the background has the correct color, but there's nothing else. Changes are still displayed.

The behavior is identical in all windows of that frame, and creating new buffers or windows doesn't improve the situation. Everything becomes normal if I resize the window.

It usually occurs when I have been working with another frame on another virtual desktop, and switch back. I use xmonad which might handle some things differently from other window-managers.

Do you still see this bug?  If so, could you try to create a recipe
starting from emacs -Q?

I'm currently on GNU Emacs 24.4.1 (x86_64-unknown-cygwin). Works here, not
sure what's the Linux situation.
