Thanks Ray.
That got it working for me. It doesn't cause any major issues or anything, but it seemed to die on its own a couple times (just showing a normal GNOME desktop without shadows). Rerunning spififity after that brought it back up. On my Radeon 9000 it's kind of slow. I was wondering if anything can be done to make it faster?
My xorg.conf options are:
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "yes"
Option "AccelMethod" "xaa"
I tried exa, but that made it seem even slower. Should I consider ATI's proprietary drivers? Is there any other flag worth trying?
Thanks for the help. It's pretty cool.

So with the latest rawhide, gdm's configuration file has moved to
/etc/gdm/custom.conf
Add something like this to it:
[servers]
0=Xair
[server-Xair]
name=Accelerated Indirect server
command=/usr/bin/Xair -audit 0
If you already have a [servers] section, change what's already there
instead of adding a second entry (but still add the [server-Xair]
section.
Then run /usr/sbin/gdm-restart as root
Note, it appears all x86-64 users get the white boxes no matter what.
That bug is being worked on.
