Hi, * Nenad Latinović <nenad.latinovic@posteo.de> [2015-02-28 18:07]:

Hey guys. I'm one of those people who always change the default compositing manager to compton in Xfce. But sometimes, I see that

why?

openSUSE still automatically starts the 'old', default window compositor - how can i make it stop? Because then compton and all its effects don't work properly... To make it clear, i always untick the window manager tweaks to not start the compositor, but sometimes, it just does...

What do you mean by "its effects don't work properly", is there an error message from compton or does it just not start or what exactly happens? How do you distinguish which compositing manager is running? You can check the xfwm4 setting with xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/use_compositing IIRC xfwm4 checks on startup whether a compositing manager is already running, so if it is not disabled properly you have a race condition. Please check whether the above command returns "false" now and check again what it returns after the problem happens. It would also be very helpful if you could investigate some method to reproduce this, I just did a number of logout/login cycles with compositing turned off and so far it always stayed off. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner@opensuse.org
