The past couple of days two transparent window areas appeared on my ubuntu desktop, which are not clickable.



This is a printscreen on my desktop where you can clearly see the windows I am referring to.
enter image description here



Do you have any idea what has caused them and how I can remove them? I tried closing all open applications and rebooting and they didn't seem to disappear.
