If starting Gnome, everything seems to be okay. If you are opening a window, the window shown, is opening in slow motion (like deactivating L1 and L2 cache *g*)

When killing metacity or using any gnome apps in KDE, no problems appear.

If I run under Gnome and I have killed metacity, opening a terminal and restarting metacity inside this terminal, I get an error from metacity (Can´t tell you whichm, because I am writing this bug from within KDE)

Could this error has to do with Xorg-6.8.0-r1? xcompmgr or some things like that?

Comment 2 Christian Roessner 2004-09-29 08:18:43 UTC
If commenting out the usage of composite in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, everything works fine. So maybe metacity has a bug concerning the xorg-extensions.

Thanks gentoo-forum ;-)
Comment 3 Simon Stelling (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-29 09:16:26 UTC
i can't confirm this and i'm using metacity-2.8.5 for >a week. are you sure that kde makes no problems if you use the transluent features?
Comment 4 Christian Roessner 2004-09-29 09:32:27 UTC
Okay, it seems I have not written clearly, so you could missunderstand my words. Sorry.

What I mean with no problems using KDE is that I am only able to use gnome apps under KDE (because metacity is not running then) or I have to explicitly comment out the composite stuff in xorg.conf. So, metacity probably would not work with tranluency feature set.
Comment 5 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-09-29 10:03:56 UTC
just disable composite, it is not stable & we do not treat it as such, the metacity ebuild actually states this.
