I've been using e17 with Composite and xcompmgr/transset-df-4/xbindkeys
and it seems to work pretty well (see the nice instructions for doing
this at the Gentoo Wiki). Ironically it's a lot of GTK apps that have
the most problems with xcompmgr (Firefox+Flash plug-in will crash,
Thunderbird will crash unless you set XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS,
occassional corruption when using scrollbar in thunderbird, rdesktop).
E17 will have corruption on the background when starting up and/or
changing themes, but moving a window around the desktop to force a
repaint will fix it. Transparent windows work fine, the drop shadows
created by xcompmgr don't interfere or look out of place with e17's
dropshadows... really, it's pretty amazing!
Granted, xcompmgr and transparent windows are only usable with
proprietary NVIDIA drivers (which I am using), and other people report
great success with EXA-enabled drivers and X.Org 6.9/7.0.

Ok quick question that I can't find the answer to. I have xcompmgr and transset-df with xbindkeys setup like the gentoo wiki says and like you have it but I was wondering if you could set it up to autoset transparency by mouse click instead of mouse wheel like kde uses? Or any link to a webpage that has more help on the issue would be great. Thank you!
