Description

@Etienne-gh

Thank you to develop and maintain Regolith, It is awesome!

Describe the bug
I've just reinstalled my laptop with Ubuntu 24.04 and regolith 3.2 beta 2. Picom is regularly crashing on workspace/window switching with the following error:

$ /usr/bin/picom --config /usr/share/regolith-look/nord/picom.conf 


picom: ../src/win.c:349: win_bind_mask: Assertion `!w->mask_image' failed.
[1]    788705 IOT instruction (core dumped)  /usr/bin/picom --config /usr/share/regolith-look/nord/picom.conf

It seems to be linked to this Picom's issue which is fixed on the last Picom release (v11.2) and Regolith is using Picom v10 for now.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  • Default regolith 3.2 beta 2 installation with ubuntu 24.04, X11 and Picom as compositor.

Expected behavior
