Bling!

[Chris Kurecka]

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.
