As I mentioned earlier, Metacity has quite a good logging system, but it’s almost never turned on; you have to set some environment variables. If someone reports a bug, we have to ask them specifically to turn it on, and then run Metacity again, and see whether the problem recurs. Federico and Luke suggested […]
What do people think about adding a new “metacity –debug” switch which did the same as the logging environment variables? Would users find it easier to use or remember when necessary?

Firstly, it seems that there are some weird shadow redrawing problems…these just appeared recently, so it shouldn’t be hard to find the offending commit. I think I know what it is, I just need […]

Its like acid, but cheaper!
So what exactly are we seeing?
Well, everytime a section of the screen needs to be redrawn, the compositor draws it correctly, and then picks a random colour and overlays that […]
Some people have expressed concern about the panel drop shadows. At least three people didn’t like that they drew the shadows over the windows close to them. So in response I’ve just committed a change that makes the panel drop shadows only draw on the desktop. I think it looks quite neat and tidy actually. […]
