Also tried installing Xfce4, but there seems to be some integration problem: it's not possible to log into it from GDM (journalctl shows some errors about it trying to launch its own session manager and failing because of GDM already running). I've also tried to reproduce the error with a Lucid build of Emacs 29 under GNOME -- never hit the problem once.Yes, it did vanish into the infinite black hole that is this email provider's automatic filtering. Xfwm can be run by hand with its compositor enabled. Perhaps if you start: Xorg :1 then run: xfwm4 -c --display :1, you will have better luck.
Thanks. When trying to run a separate Xorg, at first it failed with no access to some tty, and then (with sudo) brought down my existing Xorg. :-D
But when I rebooted, Xfce suddenly started working without extra help.I've tried several dozens of times and couldn't reproduce the problem in it. All I can add about that is two things:
1. It has some broken handling of scaling. When set to 1, most things (but not all, e.g. not the titlebar buttons, I think) have the same size as I have in GNOME at 2x scaling. And when I set scaling to 2, everything becomes tiny.
2. Emacs starts up faster than under WindowMaker or E, but still a little slower than under GNOME. The startup looks a little different, too: if you have some of my older videos saved, you can see it blinking with the scrollbar. Under Xfce, OTOH, I can't see that blinking, and overall the startup looks something like additionally buffered: less jittery, but a tiny bit slower as a result. Whatever the reasons is, it could affect later frame flipping as well.
