Description

I am running PekWM version 0.1.10 on Archlinux.

I am trying to use gnome-do with composite in PekWM, through xcompmgr. The problem is that when I summon it, there is a black area all around it (see image[1]). To be sure, I have tested this with Metacity, and I was able work around the issue by invoking xcompmgr with no drop shadows (-n flag), however it still fails to work with PekWM. This led me to the conclusion that it is a PekWM issue, I apologise if I am in the wrong place.

Patches apply on GIT head as of now, seems to do the trick with avant window navigator and gnome-do on my setup.

Looking into this, it seems to be the visual/depth/colormap causing the problems. Done some experiments, but still a bit unsure what's the "correct" way of doing this.

it is definitely pekwm.. i booted into a vanilla X environment and started xcompmgr and fired up gnome-do

.. and it was beautiful.. and i still get a black box in pekwm.. not just gnome-do, but for all apps that require compositing.. strange though, because transparencies with transset works flawlessly

I believe this is an issue with pekwm

Done a bit of research on this and I think it could be similar to OpenBox bug #2850 http://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2850

Then general case is probably that applications requesting ARGB (or RGBA) visuals aren't handled correctly.

Can you please test with the different acceleration architectures (XAA, EXA)? And please report which xorg driver you use.

i can confirm this too.. replaced pekwm with metacity in my .xinitrc file and xcompmgr did its thing. Things looked as they should with no black spaces.. (with awn, gnome-do (docky)), but with pekwm, the problem's back!

and the composite extension is enabled in my xorg.conf

I`ll test gnome-do on my machine. When it work on yours machine with metacity, and on PekWM not, that will be a bug ( right place ;) )

Well, I am sure that when I submitted this composite was enabled in my xorg configuration, as it has always been on my machine.

this is caused because graphics card driver, setup xorg then test :) composite must be enabled to work with xcompmgr
