Description thilor77 2010-01-18 03:00:15 UTC 
We try to autodetect start/stop of the composite manager 
to adjust real or fake transparency in tint2 panel.

The ICCCM specification say in "2.8. Manager Selections"
"The manager should announce its arrival by sending a ClientMessage event."

It look like xcompmgr doesn't send an event so we can't detect it.

the following patch fixed it (in xcompmgr-1.1.5).

Thanks
