Until XComposite stops trampling all over opengl app support, I'm not going near it with a barge pole :-) Problem is, I don't see how it cleanly can. When windows themselves are being rendered in opengl space, how is an app supposed to have its own depth buffer for drawing polygons in the right spacial order, while rendering all of this to a window which is in the right spacial order on screen? As far as I can see, xcomposite is a hack, which is why you have to disable it with most drivers to get opengl apps to work reliably. Try turning both on, then switching desktops with glxgears running. SPLAT!
