You're right : reverting to xfdesktop4 doesn't fix the issue.
I also tried reverting to previous xorg-server-video-intel version, no success.
Instead, disabling the xfwm4 option : (translated from french) : 
"Direct drawing of full screen windows"
fixes the issue.
Which is coherent, because openarena is full screen...
But what is not is that for ex. Stellarium is full screen and doesn't trigger the bug.
How to assign that bug to xfwm4 ? should i open a new one ?
