[SOLVED] i have discovered a bug in xcompmgr, & not sure wot 2 do!

hi,

i have been running fluxbox for a while, and love it, but I recently installed icewm to have a bit of a play around.

I recently installed xcompmgr, but everytime it starts up in fb, everything goes very transparent, and no options will change this! so I logged into icewm, and ran xcompmgr, and it worked perfectly!!

I'd love to get involved with some development, and am wondering;
1./ where should i report this problem?
2./ how do I start to fix it?

thanks

Doesn't fluxbox have a setting for transparency? Perhaps you could check that?

yeah, i checked that already, force psuedo transparency is off in the config menu!

I would just swap wm to openbox, but i cant get it to run a 2nd instance of openbox on the tv! the 2nd x server is fine, just no OB! so im stuck with fluxbox, it does everything properly apart from compositing!

any other ideas??
