I talked with Arnaud about that yesterday, and indeed that's the only and correct solution. It's not gonna be implemented in awesome, since it's not awesome job to handle that, and because Arnaud has anyway written a nice compositing manager that will do that nicely. So: not our job, not our bug. Cheers, -- Julien Danjou // ᐰ <[email protected]> http://julien.danjou.info // 9A0D 5FD9 EB42 22F6 8974 C95C A462 B51E C2FE E5CD // Trust me.
