TechrightsBot@explodingwalrus: @schestowitz I thought there was a compiz plugin to do that ages ago?Sep 06 16:58
schestowitzCanonical 'owns' key compiz development nowSep 06 16:58

schestowitzkwin never crashes for meSep 06 17:07
MinceRsure. it's only kwin, plasma-desktop, krunner and kxkb that need a manual restart from time to timeSep 06 17:07
MinceRand plasma-desktop also needs reconfiguration, since it likes to forget panel settingsSep 06 17:07
schestowitzdependsSep 06 17:07

MinceRthat helps avoid some of the bugs that are triggered by adding/removing monitorsSep 06 17:09
schestowitztexturisesSep 06 17:09
schestowitzANd then you don't need to redraw apps, not even over SSH, when you move aroundSep 06 17:09
schestowitzwith kwin+composite off it's slow and annoying to get work doneSep 06 17:09
MinceRschestowitz: i suspect you can do that even with just forcing all windows to use SaveUnderSep 06 17:09
MinceRoopsSep 06 17:09
MinceRBackingStore or what it's calledSep 06 17:10
MinceRiirc fvwm could force that settingSep 06 17:10
schestowitznever tried itSep 06 17:10
