hey Pierre =)
great to see you on the list; will be interesting to see what emerges from all
of our efforts in the next year.

i've started talking to both nVidia and ATi about this issue, and hopefully
this will result in something useful in the future in both cases. a lot more
discussion and effort needs to go into this, of course. so, we'll see. but
both are putting resources on these issues as we speak, so that's a nice step
forward.
that said, COMPOSITE won't be a requirement for plasma, though it may not look
quite as spiffy w/out it.
that said, you are right that GL+COMPOSITE is a mess right now. the best way
to push fixes for this is to push applications that actually work best when
both are around.

honestly, i find this kind of stuff to be pure wankery and hope we find much
better things to do with our windows than make them see-through or wobble.
even then, it's not something that falls within the concern of plasma itself.
that's for the window and composite manager (and by implication X below that
as you noted in your original email =), so i kind of absolve myself of this
one (i know, the easy way out ;)
