Reason for closing:  Won't implement
Additional comments about closing:  The Xfce packages will stay as is.

Enabling the composite extension implies to run unsupported code, even if the feature is not activated in the xorg.conf.

my remark on this is, place a warning or someting if people want to use it.
Composite is far from stable and can make your screen go corrupt etc...

Okay. If it is supported then only the people who have taken the time and done the reading on how to enable the composite extension in the xorg.conf will be affected. Those who do not enable the extension via xorg.conf should have no problems at all.

Since it is easier to make a change to xorg.conf than it is to compile something on your own even through ABS, I think this is justified.
