Description Nolan Eakins 2004-09-13 22:28:40 UTC

In 6.8.0 kuickshow will only show a blank window.

Comment 1 Jakub Argasiński 2004-09-21 05:56:11 UTC

Actually, it happens only if the Composite extension is enabled.

Comment 2 Nolan Eakins 2004-09-21 20:56:47 UTC

With or without xcompmgr actually running.

Comment 3 Dan Doel 2004-09-23 00:37:02 UTC

This is a result of kuickshow (or whatever library it uses to draw) not 
handling the ARGB visuals exported by Composite correctly. 
 
As a workaround, for now you can set the environment variable: 
 
XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 
 
before running kuickshow. In the long run, kuickshow (or the library it uses) 
needs to be rewritten to properly handle the composite visual.
