just out of curiosity I tried your patch anyway.

On the machine exporting to 15/16bit display it did not help at all, 
same behaviour as before.

I tried it also on another computer with a standard GeForce card, not 
exported. I don't know if the display is 24 or 32bit. How do I know best?
I noticed a slight speed increase in certain operation, scrolling and 
resizing seemed a bit better.

The transparency test didn't work for me before and continued not to 
work. It says it needs a special compositing windowmanager? I just run 
windowmaker.

I always wonder that the animation test makes about 29 frames and the 
machine becomes almost completely unresponsive. With the new surface 
type behaviour remained about the same.
