For real transparency, yes, you need it. If you have enabled GLX and |
| 12 |
Composite at once, and run a GLX program, then X will crash. This is |
| 13 |
likely the cause of your problems. The difficulty is, for the moment, |
| 14 |
you have to sacrifice either GLX if you want to use Composite reliably. |
