The problem(or at least for me) only happens when you set double buffer.

If i were you i would make remove own_window, and remove double buffer. It will flicker occationally, but it will look like this.

EDIT: Ok, i have come up with a better method.

1. Download and install a program called devilspie.
2. create a file ~/.devilspie.xml containing this.

Code:
<devilspie>
<devilspie>
  <!--
  Hide Torsmo From the Taskbar
  -->

 <flurb>
    <matchers>
        <matcher name="DevilsPieMatcherWindowName">
                <property name="application_name" value="Torsmo"/>
        </matcher>
    </matchers>
    <actions>
      <action name="DevilsPieActionHide">
        <property name="skip_tasklist" value="TRUE"/>
      </action>
      <action name="DevilsPieActionHide">
        <property name="skip_pager" value="TRUE"/>
      </action>
      <action name="DevilsPieActionLayer">
       <property name="above" value="FALSE"/>
      </action>
    </actions>
</flurb>
</devilspie>
3. run devilspie
4. Edit your torsmorc to have own_window yes
5. Close all running windows.
6. Run torsmo with double buffering(-b or in the config)
