I had experienced the varnishes of Gnome panel a long time ago, But
since then I
never experience it for at least half a year, aslo with Chromium I
never encounter
such symptoms as you mentioned.
The only thing I want with compositing is the fancy tranparency of
Emacs, switching to
compiz seems not to be a choice for me, compiz is somewhat over-bloated to me.
BTW, you probably meant (set-frame-parameter nil 'alpha 94). Also, please
use report-emacs-bug for bugs like these.
Got it
I reverted to the version before this commit, but the bug in metacity remains.
It is
probably a fluke that your meatcity works with> that version.
just FYI, it is this specific hunk of the commit that triggers the
(possible) bug of metacity
Just revert this hunk of the commit Emacs works as expected at least for me.
