path, because we never bothered to write an algorithm for the<br>
transform_enable() path. A pixman region deals with axis-aligned<br>
rectangles, and the conversion from an arbitrary rectangle to an<br>
approximating set of axis-aligned rectangles is not trivial nor<br>
unique. In the transform enabled case, we just imagine that nothing is<br>
opaque, and compute repaint regions accordingly. The only downside is<br>
that we may repaint more than absolutely necessary. It should not cause<br>
misrendering, though.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It does cause misrendering with XWayland though, as we often have an A8R8G8B8 frame window enclosing an X8R8G8B8 content window. While the frame has a proper alpha channel, assuming the content window has a valid alpha channel causes serious misrendering. So in this case, it's not just an optimisation, but a necessity.</div>
