Hello, I am using transparent qwo, but I haven't upgraded my FR since I wrote the instructions (it's on my todo list, but... :-) ). So, I am not very sure about the current state of packages, but to the best of my knowledge, situation is as follows:
1) 2) Nobody maintains Xglamo, last commit at git.openmoko.org was 7 months ago. Glamo driver for xorg is under active development, so maybe it just works by now. Nevertheless, the patch on Xglamo was accepted to SHR quite long time ago, so if you use SHR+Xglamo, part of my patch should be included. (It is the part that fixes crashing; the second part of the patch that improves motion event handling has not been included afaik). 3) No idea if the composite extension is enabled by default in any distribution, but this is just a configuration issue... 4) Xcompmgr is in openembedded, but I do not know if the binary is provided by the standard opkg feeds of any distribution. 5) You do not really have to patch qwo; an alternative is to use transset utility to set the transparency manually. However, the patch improves usability significantly imho. The transparency patch has not been accepted upstream yet. (Actually, last commit to qwo git repository is from 28 May). 6) I am not aware of any inclusions of the illume patch anywhere.
