What about using rxvt-unicode as terminal with transparency set to see your wallpaper? Anyway, I tried using xcompmgr when I was still using those old and useless floating WMs (such as Fluxbox/Openbox) and I've always felt that it was somewhat unstable and about to crash, so I just gave up.

A recent study has found that concentrating on difficult off-screen objects, such as the faces of loved ones, causes eye strain in computer scientists. Researchers into the phenomenon cite the added concentration needed to "make sense" of such unnatural three dimensional objects. -- To unsubscribe, send mail to [email protected].
