Description Nicolas Mailhot 2006-07-16 13:31:59 EDT

metacity should fallback to non-composing mode when used with an X server which
disabled the composing extension even if composing_manager is on.

aborting leaves the user without a window manager and in deep trouble, which is
not acceptable

metacity-2.15.5-6.1

Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-07-25 15:09:02 EDT

I think we decided to not ship metacity with compositor enabled, so this may not
be so relevant anymore.

Comment 2 Matthias Clasen 2006-08-14 22:58:02 EDT

Closing bugs related to the metacity compositor, since we no longer develop it.
