When I run xcompmgr while running evilwm, xcompmgr spits out an error and evilwm loses control of all windows--the borders disappear and the shortcut keys no longer work for them. A new terminal opened via control+alt+enter will be controlled by evilwm, but the older windows will remain uncontrollable. Transset works. # xcompmgr error 8 request 155 minor 4 serial 1586 error 177 request 155 minor 8 serial 1587 error 177 request 155 minor 8 serial 1735 error 177 request 155 minor 8 serial 1784 error 177 request 155 minor 8 serial 1825 error 177 request 155 minor 8 serial 1866 error 177 request 155 minor 8 serial 1907 (the last number just keeps increasing) #

Closing bug as it is very old and a new version of evilwm is in the tree. It is likely this bug no longer exists. Reopen the bug if it does.
