Re: Use xcompmgr in Lubuntu

 

We did. But using xcompmgr is complicated and can fail. There's a big
problem using some apps with it. Try to drag an icon from a window to
the desktop and you'll see the flickering. If you do this too many times
the Openbox will crash. This is a xcompmgr bug, and its development
seems to be stopped.

And for using a composite manager we need a nice front-end for
configuring it. It's very difficult for newcomers open a terminal and
type commands. This is "too geek" :)

Cheers!
