    Assuming that you have configured your x.org correctly you can use the xcompmgr and transset commands to set transparencies. They can be installed by apt-get install xcompmgr transset. This, however, assumes that you are using Hoary.

    No. XF86 does not support transparency.

    Hehe. The thing is that with a reasonably recent graphics card from Nvidia, it's not slowing it down. At least not noticable. That means we can have eye candy porn for free!

    Can't wait until Metacity integrates XComposite support and has options for window shadows!

    Yes and yes. It's good for pretty screenshots and that is it.
