Xfce window manager now includes its own compositing manager

It tooks me a while and a lot of work to get the compositing manager working in xfwm4, the Xfce window manager (obligatory screenshot)

I’ve been asked why making a separate compositor rather than using X.org’s xcompmgr.

To make it short, because it makes perfectly sense. The compositor is like a WM on its own, it manages a stack of all windows, monitor all kinds on X event and reacts accordingly.

Having the compositing manager embedded in the window manager also helps keeping the various visual effects in sync with window events.

An RPM archive for fedora with compositor enabled is available here (source RPM here)

This package is to be used in place of the regular xfwm4 package from Xfce 4.2 beta 1 available here

4.2beta2中已经包括，不过有些问题，因为xfpanel有的时候都回出现问题。
而且很多程序在Compositor下面运行的时候，显示不正常。

我这里比较奇怪，gnome下面问题多多，几乎不能运行，xfce下面非常漂亮，感觉还行。机器硬件上过得去的话，还是很好的。

我的gnome在加了compositer扩展之后也不行了，好像是metacity有问题
