Your post made me curious how far xorg had gotten
along and I installed from the site you mentioned.

There was another fix needed to avoid mozilla from
diappearing and wmxmms to show up, from here:
http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency#Enabling_shadows_and_real_transparency
which solved it.

Then of course the "eyecandy", I found xcompmgr here:
http://freedesktop.org/xapps/release/ it apparently is
not with the .debs.

And to compile that had to install xcomposite, xfixes,
xdamage and xrender and link pkgconfig for X to where
he wants it apparently.

There is a transset on a key here:
http://forchheimer.se/transset-df/

But I never got that to run because e16keyedit dies.

Which brings us to what all that gets you.

With a 2.1GHz CPU running xcompmgr -c on only 1 X puts
the CPU at a constant 56% and X is cute to look at but
in no whay ready to useful work: way to slow on a
Nvidia TNT with acceleration set.

Anybody actually use this in a production mode for
useful work, like answering emails?
