I don't run a wallpaper, or even a colored background. I use desktop wheeling (the mouse wheel) to switch. Desktop wheeling with a colored background or wallpaper involves a visible repaint of the background or bitmap. It's annoying. You can see a visible flash. Not doing eyecandy is probably more an artifact of poor design of X11 than limitations of the device. Here are pictures: http://home.comcast.net/~40521.nospam/snapshot1.jpg http://home.comcast.net/~40521.nospam/snapshot2.jpg Believe me, I have oodles of eyecandy, when I want it. But eyecandy is (1) garish and (2) causes more visible flashes and repaints. Speed is everything. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
