I installed the transparency plugin. It's pretty helpfull if you're coding, and trying to look at an example at the same time. Put the example behind your xterm then change the opacity so you can see through the xterm enough to see the example. It's great! > The only problems > I've had are a few apps needed to be recompiled(xterm) and some GL apps > seem to have trouble starting up (wine chokes trying to initialize > directx, other apps too) and seem to take a bit of a performance hit.

I think I read that it's the Java programs that use the Swing toolkit which don't work properly. It's pretty stable though, haven't had any crashes to speak of. -- Michael Moore ------------------------------- www.stuporglue.org -- Donate your used computer to a student that needs it. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
