| //xfwm4// includes its own compositing manager, which takes advantage of the new X.org's server extensions. The compositor is like a WM on its own; it manages a stack of all windows, monitors all kinds of X events and reacts to them accordingly. Having the compositing manager embedded in the window manager also helps keeping the various visual effects in sync with window events. If you want to use the compositor, you have to build xfwm4 using the --enable-compositor configure option. In any case, you can disable the compositor on xfwm4 startup using the '--compositor=off' argument. | //xfwm4// includes its own compositing manager, which takes advantage of the new X.org's server extensions.
