Xcompmgr

I wanted to compile my own xcompmgr, so I fetched it from its git repo:

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/app/xcompmgr


Compiled it and ran it using these options:

xcompmgr -cC -t-3 -l-5 -r5


And this was the result:



There's a problem though. Because of a security update to X.org, xcompmgr causes terrible slowdown with terminals (gnome-terminal, urxvt, etc) and there appears to be no workaround at the moment.
