Iain’s compositor is now on trunk since it now meets every requirement I wrote about here. It looks gorgeous. It will be in the next unstable release, which will happen before the weekend. Do not use bucket-o-bling any more; it is a dead branch. Work will continue on trunk. This closes GNOME bug 499081. All kudos goes to Iain.
Guess what : compositor patch will land on Mandriva cooker today and will be enabled by default, as a early Christmas present to all GNOME Mandriva cooker users :)
Gosh, you’re fast.
Its great news!
