I assume you want to use matchbox because it's lightweight and designed to work well with small displays. The effects that exist in compiz plugins require OpenGL so there's no way you can avoid that dependency. Other than that, compiz's modular design allows it to be as lightweight as matchbox and whatever special functionality you need that matchbox provides could be added to compiz through plugins. If there's anything in compiz core, other than the OpenGL dependency, that makes matchbox more appropriate for you, I'm very interested in fixing that. My suggestion is that you use compiz as windows manager and we'll make sure it fits your needs. Its modular design should make that straightforward. - David _______________________________________________ compiz mailing list compiz@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/compiz
