Thanks for that additional information. :)
I'm happy about every bit that makes my understand my gentoo better.


BTW and OT:
I'm reading this in my new and very wobbly and transparent and sometimes 
non-responsive xgl. *g*
Problems yet to solve: I can's seem to get gnome-window-decorator start 
automatically, and starting it into this session was some pain in the ass, 
since my keyboard layout is broken too. (I can't switch to konsole F1...)
Xinerama is gone, too, but i wouldn't mind that, if i got the rest running. 
*g*
I can't move windows as of yet, too, but still xgl is quite some eye-candy. :)
I think i'm gonna simply do the xgl stuff for xdm, and leave kdm alone or 
something like that, so that i can boot into xgl whenever i'm feeling 
lucky. ;-)

Everyone who wants to give it a shot: Try http://www.gentoo-wiki.com/Xgl
