What is the function of the "compositor"?  In KDE, controls for it are available at:

System Settings -> Display and Monitor -> Compositor

There's no useful documentation that I can find in System Settings or on the web; it seems to have something to do with visual effects: transparency, shadowing, and possibly others.  Any info would be interesting.

In KDE, "Compositor" refers to a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compositing_window_manager.
