If we copy the desktop background it will: * end up looking stupid because with compositing it will be "wallaper over windows over wallpaper" * be even less performant than what we have now * be routing around the technology that is actually there for this exact purpose: compositing > (Kicker used a similiar workaround for a lot of time). in which case, you can have kicker back. work on it for a year or so then get back to me on it ;) there are so many other hacks kicker did that result in a poor user experience that we avoid even though it means without compositing you lose some features. one such example is panel autohide: it only animates when composite is available since it's the only way we've come up with to do it sanely (where "sane" is defined in this case as "works, has good performance and does't break on multiscreen systems") -- Aaron J.
