Hi,

I've been to modify my wm's source code to make it
able to handle tranparency windows, as I'm trying to
get to be able to map xhaped windows with smooth
borders. 

Following Carl's advises and support (thanks very much
from here), I've taken his examples as reference, and
made my wm comply with them:

http://cairographics.org/~cworth/tmp/argb_cairo.c
http://cairographics.org/~cworth/tmp/argb_demo.c

The thing is that I cannot manage to do it. I've just
thought of uploading outputs from xdyinfo, xprop,
etc., together with diffs and screenshots, which can
be found here:

Command's output:

http://www.geocities.com/ucho_trabajo/xcomp/

And diffs (ok wrong > output):

http://www.geocities.com/ucho_trabajo/xcomp/diffs/

Looking at those, I just don't know where the problem
is, nor what to do in order to catch it, so any
comments about would be obiously much appreciated.

Kind Regards,
