composite stuff. Allthough what I found out was that xfwm4 crashed when 
I enabled transparency for inactive windows and moved some aterms 
around. So my question was if someone else is running Xfce 4.4 beta and 
has the same problems ? And if someone has a solusion for it. I guess 
that the xorg port is the weakest link ATM. I can't imagine people 
actually using such composite settings when the wm crashes every 15 
minutes ... so I asume it runs better with xorg7.  So a sort of second 
question would be: is there an easy way of installing, but as important 
deinstalling, Xorg7 ?



IIANM, Xorg 6.9 is exactly the same as 7.0, just packaged all together
(6.9) rather than in separate modules (7.0).  Thus I believe the
assumption that installing 7.0 would improve matters is incorrect.

FYI, RC1 without compositing enabled works flawlessly so far for me on
-CURRENT.  I'm running Xorg 6.9, portupgraded less than a week ago.

Hmm then I realy think the compositor needs a lot of work. When I enable 
the fancy effects xfce slows down to about 50% of it's speed. And indeed 
; without compositor it runs flawlessly here too.
