I'm not seeing this here. What I was seeing is some glitches, like 
flashing, when windows are opened probably because of the opaque region 
(flashes are black so that's why I assume opaque region). I never had 
time to investigate the reason why though. Menus type of windows are 
easy to notice this.

same here. Should be easy to solve.

same here. This is due the fact that xwm has to draw itself the 
decorations in opposing with toykit clients or other toolkits that 
you're used to. We're trying to change it now though making xwm a client.
