Compositor woes

Hi Kai,

On my system Xfce taskbar was transparetn automatically once I enabled
composite extension in xorg.conf

For other windows I use "transset" from portage tree. I use it as
described on: http://gentoo-wiki.com/TIP_Xorg_X11_and_Transparency

i.e. I just run transset (with optional parameters) and point with mouse
on the window i like to make transparent. (i do not use xwininfo)

ciao
