It has a README, a man-page and the source. I wouldn't call this bad documentation. It's definitely better documented than the average free software project. Since, as you said, you figured out lots of stuff, why don't you write it down and ask Dok to include the information in the README or even the manpage? > - No root window! i tried the bg-file = "" in my .directfbrc with no > success. that option is called "bg-image".

So i had to use an xterm that opened at startup ... iirc, there is a command-line option (-enableRoot) that adds a root window.

I don't like it either but it's a good way for us to test the window stack and it's the only way to manipulate windows if there's no window manager running. It should definitely be optional and configurable. > I'm sorry if I sound all negative, because the transparancy was > great!.

If you ever have a chance to try this on a Matrox card, don't miss it. I'm sure you will be impressed.
