Hi gber!
I use it because the effects (fading and such) are much more smooth + it
eliminates screen tearing completely.
I recognize the old compositing manager by more snappy effects and loads
of screen tearing. Then i go and check the window manager tweaks, and
see it's on, even though i turned it off (because compton won't work
otherwise).
Any other way to eliminate screen tearing with the default compositing?
Kind regards and many thanks again, gber.

Hey guys. I'm one of those people who always change the default
compositing manager to compton in Xfce. But sometimes, I see that
why?
openSUSE still automatically starts the 'old', default window
compositor - how can i make it stop? Because then compton and all its
effects don't work properly... To make it clear, i always untick the
window manager tweaks to not start the compositor, but sometimes, it
just does...
What do you mean by "its effects don't work properly", is there
an error message from compton or does it just not start or what
exactly happens? How do you distinguish which compositing manager
is running?
You can check the xfwm4 setting with
xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing
IIRC xfwm4 checks on startup whether a compositing manager is
already running, so if it is not disabled properly you have a
race condition. Please check whether the above command returns
"false" now and check again what it returns after the problem
happens. It would also be very helpful if you could investigate
some method to reproduce this, I just did a number of
logout/login cycles with compositing turned off and so far it
always stayed off.
