I'm currently MIA, for at least another month, so there will be no action until then.
anyways, about skippy-xd, a package 'out of source' will require xcompmgr, witch I absolutly don't want to package nor maintain as it's a hack and works (decently) only in rare limit cases. However, here are David Nusinow's words: "Some people have also been asking about xcompmgr/transset packages. It's still not packaged for Debian because it's either slow or crashy, depending on your driver, although fixes are in the works. I may have found someone to maintain it for Debian, and I'll try and keep people posted about it when I know more." When/if xcompmgr gets uploaded I might consider uploading a (raw from source) package of skippy-xd. Anyways, there are 2 things that skippy-xd does (differently than the 'classic' tree): - use the XDamage extention to know when a window is changed. - use xcompmgr to get the snapshot of the window at this moment. The buggy/slow feature is only the second one, and I believe it's possible to use XDamage to know when the window has changed to take a new screenshot using the skippy(-noxd) code to get the snapshot. I'm intrested in patching skippy on this way (and maybe on merging everything in a package that could detect if xcompmgr is installed and use it if configured to do so), but I'm not sure on when I'll get the time to do it, and the upstream author is not intrested at all about this. If anyone is intrested in doing this, I'll read the patches. Regards, -- Niv Sardi-Altivanik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
