Well, whoever is saying that is wrong. Using the raster engine is the opposite of what Plasma wants. The person who wrote a blog entry about how to make it the default in Qt has been doing a huge disservice to the whole community. Also in this particular point it would be good if someone could elaborate what exactly is missing from Xcomposite that KWin integration is needed. z _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
