Correct me if I am wrong, but if there were something like xcompmgr augmented and cleaned up, wouldn't a nice way to interact be through a module ? There is nothing which prevents it from being started from a module ... I am assuming that fvwm+module would be in control ... and also this module would have to 'steal' all events and such before handing over to fvwm ... Basicly either you have a comp manager in control over all 3d ... handing over events to the window manager, och the other way around .... if I have got things right. I assume you see things the other way ? >> I had a hack somewhere and if I remember correctly when you run >> compositioning you reparent to offscreen memory, menus and such in >> fvwm are rendered into windows are they not ? > > That makes no difference -- FVWM reparents everything.
