[compiz] Composite retained drawing protocol

I've recently drafted a rough idea of a composite manager agnostic
protocol for leveraging the compositor for retained drawing in a way
suitable for highly interactive and flexible applications.

It seems to be that for anything like this to be a success it would
have to be developed with the support of multiple window managers, and
I would appreciate any feedback, ideas, and contributions to the draft
on behalf of the Compiz crowd.

The RFC is available at:

PDF (much better formatting) at:

Thanks,
Robert
