Hi.. I am running 9.04. I've had electric sheep installed, using the x11 driver, which apparently played them in mplayer.

I recently got the nvidia proprietary drivers installed and working, so that I have hardware acceleration. I changed the type to "gl", and I had full-screen sheep, which was great.

I then started playing with compiz; however, now when the screen blanks, electric sheep play on the root window, not on their own window.

I'm running xscreensaver

I've tried several approaches (added "--root 0" in the advanced commands and added "root=0" to the preferences file), but none of them have worked.

Ideas?
