Tell that Emacs/XEmacs, egcs/gcc or XFree86/X.org X11. :-)

Actually, Matthias, I'm not. I'm not using Xgl/compiz anymore. While I
used it, I constantly switched between both FDO CVS and Quinn's CVS. 
I haven't coded a single line for Quinn's CVS either. :-)

One of the reasons to drop compiz is David's question/response ratio on
this list. 

Others include the fact that Xgl consumed up to 25% of my 2 GB RAM. :-)

Yes, no doubt.

I'm not talking about chatting. I'm talking about meaningful
communication. You know the questions I asked (thanks for your mail,
btw, it was very helpful). Even a link or cut & paste would have been
enough.

Anyway, it wasn't and it isn't my intention to bash anyone's work work
any person. I'm just unhappy with the (lack of) communication. It
discourages people to participate in something that has the potential to
enrich the Linux desktop greatly (and make a difference for Novell/Suse)
and that's really a shame.
