I've tried to enable dropshadows in two systems running FC3, in
both I stumbled into problems with Metacity. In one system with an
nVidia GF FX5900, window borders would be transparent, and only
"unmanaged" (borderless) windows would cast shadows (menus, dragged
icons, etc), while managed windows would not, the window border would be
traslucent, and not cast a shadow. The other system, a laptop, will not
focus windows when loged into GNOME, I cannot even run xcompmgr to
activate dropshadows when I have active the Composite and RENDER
extensions. However KDE works in both systems just fine with
dropshadows, why isn't Metacity working as it should? Is there
somethening that can be done, do I need a newer metacity or a patched one?
Thanks.
