I don't know why this is happening, and I haven't had any luck getting compiz
to work on this x86 box (Debian unstable with Xorg 7.1.1 and Xorg R200
drivers). Compiz 0.2.0 from the Debian repo has problems refreshing windows
(i.e., they don't refresh) while 0.3.6 built from source complains it can't
find the GL_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension, while it's plainly there (and
0.2.0 finds it okay).
I don't have time to mess with this right now, so I think this'll have to be
a 'won't fix' until after WIP4 is out.
Cheers,
Rich
