Hi, first of all thank you for your prompt response! I imagine how
difficult it must be to code _and_ answer this kind of stuff....

So...

I imagined. I want to place it correctly, since remember can't do it.
Again I think it is a kind of xmms bug, because it always want to be
sticky and have no borders... there actually are some xmms
"preferences" but changing them doesn't make a difference....

the one called unshading_ugly.jpg.

which built-in one? is there such a thing? I downloaded and compiled
xcompmgr and all those composite stuff just starts working after I run
it!....

(I imagined, x.org is still pretty bugged! skippy makes it crash and
all kind of weird stuff)

this did not work....
I'm sending another image to make it easier to see what happens.
notice that the unshaded window is not displayed, despite being
unshaded all you can see is its shadow. Probably a x.org bug.... but
if the workaround worked it would be nice.

Either way I found out a way to "fix" it, just set the opacity of the
window to .99 (I'm using transset-df) and everything is ok... weird
though. Even when I do that the borders get a little messed, but at
least the windows "show up"!
(just a reminder: I'm not using animated shading/unshading, I guess
that would make all different).
