Oh, it just get's better. I took the plunge and upped to MDV 2007, and wouldn't
ya know it...it's bloody fast. XOrg 7.1.1 with composite...wow. I was actually
going to ask about a way to slow the fade out *down*! heh, maybe next release,
eh?

Well, I now have 0.14, so I might just give 'er a shot :-) I'm pretty sure I've
got every devel lib there is, and some there aren't, so what the heck, that
would be like...the Holy Grail of Transparent Terminals (angels singing).

First, I's gotta read 'man patch' ;-)

Thanks! This was part of the 'impetus' that moved me to upgrade, as scary as
that can be on MDV :-D
