I had done that already. But I like eye-candy, or I might as well use a
minimalistic wm...
(I didn't get shadows or transparency anyway, whwn it was enabled.)

I did it (actually, I commented out the whole section). I guess things are better. I still can see widgets in mozilla
windows showing in a cascading way, but time lag is small.

was something wrong with it (different colors than other sections), but
it's beyond me to guess what.
