Save-under and backing store have never been guaranteed to be honored by the Xserver. > Now you'll get hordes of people complaining and thinking your software > is buggy because applications are constantly redrawing under it... You are not a "hordes." You're not even a single horde. You completely and totally lack the horde-ness. You are not one with the horde. > the assholes in power removed essential features without providing a > subsitute, like a generic CM that isn't a complete joke.

Dude, you're talking about compositing managers being a waste of cycles and memory, but are you even aware of how much of our time you're wasting? My compositing manager is xcompmgr, and it makes dragging windows around a bit slow if my EXA is turned off. You, on the other hand, require me to actually physically get up, walk over to the computer that has my email, sit down again, scratch my head for a few minutes thinking up suitable flames that gently point out why you're being lame while also attempting to embarrass you (all the while mourning the fact that by writing said flames I regrettably lower myself to the level of your trolling,) type out these dozens of lines of writing, and click "Send." I could be writing code right now! Or playing music! Talking on the phone, riding my bike, hitting on girls... I could be living out life to the fullest, but instead I'm here replying to your troll. Now *that* is a waste of cycles and memory. > There's just no way to keep up with all the shit the FOSScracy throws > at you, unless you're one of the big projects with immense resources, > and indeed part of the FOSScracy. Write an application that understands that backing store is an optimization that the server may not actually honor, and no pain would have ever befallen you. ~ C. _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
