This should fix your issue:

You should enable the BackingStore capability of your X server if you want
to avoid that windows on top of the grads window erase the grads window
content. With xorg, you should put the following in the Device section of
xorg.conf:

        Option      "BackingStore" "True"

With this option, xorg will use more CPU.
