I can remember that warning from breezy, but I hoped things had improved in 
the new version.  Is there no activty trying to fix these bugs (are people 
waiting for xgl to replace the "composite" instead?) 

At present does the "composite" method that I have tried and which is supplied 
with the distribution,  work better or worse than xgl/compiz under Dapper?
