Just thought I should mention that todays metacity build, 2.21.5-1.fc9, includes a new compositor. It is xrender-based (derived from xcompmgr) and thus works on systems where compiz doesn't. It certainly still has kinks, therefor it is not turned on by default yet. To play around with it, set the gconf key: /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager Matthias -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
