It still works if I run a compositing manager (e.g. xcompmgr) first; however the fonts as well as the background are transparent; it would be nice to make only the background transparent, as we can do for fake transparency. Also if you look at a program like skipy-xd, for instance, no requirement about running xcompmgr is required. It sould be nice to do the same here. > As far as for ?fake transparency?, I noticed a bug last year. In > FVWM2, I can have multiple ?desktops?.

I use fvwm2 myself; however I have the same background on all my virtual desktops...
