Hi,
some of you should try metacity with compositing enabled. Not as bloated as
compiz.
$ gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool
true
or you can use gconf-editor as usual.

Dear Leslie ,

It always felt a bit slower - what I and many others assumed to be

Odd, I've built several Ubuntu systems from 7.10 and 8.04 and 8.10 and I've
been happy with the speed. Three of the systems are Mythtv boxes and they do a

Perhaps I wrote too soon. I see this option for fpc:

I will try that.

So far I have found that Laz uses a Gtk pointer to a structure rather

Anybody know what type of structure (and where to find it) ?

I can use the Win API to control (hide/show/etc) all windows, including
ones created by Laz using the handles supplied by Laz (eg Form1.Handle)
