With FC4 which includes gnome 2.10, are there any plans to enable drop- shadows by default with x.org extensions? (not cpu-intensive)
Thanks!

As far as I'm aware X compositing will be enabled in Fedora when it's enabled by default in upstream Xorg releases.
My understanding is that right now there are still problems with it w.r.t memory usage and driver compatibility.

I have been able to enable XCOMPOSITE, but it's slow as molasses: drawing windows around is very, very sluggish. Surely, something must be wrong on my end.

We're still at a pretty experimental stage with this stuff. I don't know if anything will be there for FC4... but I will promise that when we start taking advantage of the X COMPOSITE extension we'll do a lot more interesting things with it than drop shadows :-)
I hope to get some pages on the Fedora wiki within the next few weeks about the graphics projects we're working on it.
