[Problem]
When shifting to another workspace, the screen clears to black for a moment
before transitioning to the other workspace.

[Original Description]
I have desktop effects enabled, using "Desktop wall" for workspace transitions.

When I select another workspace, the desktop goes black during the transition,
only showing the workspace overview OSD.

It also goes black during the transition if the "Cube" effect is selected.

There's no broken screen state in this issue. The screen goes mostly black,
except for the panel and the workspace switching OSD, only during the workspace
transition. After the transisition, everything works fine.
