Ah, OK.
- Does that mean we don't have to 'fix' XAA any more for composite?
- Will we 'automatically' get offscreen fb storage of COMPOSITE
windows doing this? XAA can do offscreen pixmaps. If a wrapping
layer makes a lower layer believe that these windows are really
pixmaps it should work. (I have to admit I've never looked at
the BS code).
