1 I've seen a bit of what composite could do before, but it was always too
2 slow. With kde 3.5.1 (just out and merged today) and xorg 7.0, both
3 (along with qt) compiled with gcc 4.1.0-beta200601??, and a decent set of
4 CFLAGS, all I can say is **WOW**!!

6 I'm running active windows @ 90% opacity, inactive windows @ 35% opacity,
7 with dropshadows but no window fading enabled (that's still too slow),
8 dual 21 inch monitors in 1600x1200 stacked for 1600x2400, Radeon 9200SE
9 with the xorg-native xf86-video-ati driver in merged framebuffer mode.
10 It's quite interesting to be able to see my knewsticker applet scrolling
11 behind my active full-monitor window.

13 I'll try posting some screenshots to my webspace and posting some links
14 here, later.
