Re: Problems with compositing-enabled metacity in gnome enviroment

[Jan Djärv]

Hello.

I can easily reproduce this bug.  Emacs does get restored, but metacity is
buggy, and doesn't draw the window correctly.  Other apps also don't redraw 
correctly with metacity and compositing_manager true.  For example, Chromium 
menus don't pop down and are left on the screen, the Gnome panel sometimes 
vanishes, and so on.  If you wan't compositing_manager use compiz, it is 
nowhere near as buggy as metacity.  Emacs (and other apps) works fine with it.

BTW, you probably meant (set-frame-parameter nil 'alpha 94).  Also, please use 
report-emacs-bug for bugs like these.

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.
