Hi!
I`m using Openbox as a standalone DE, with xcompmgr and conky. No KDE apps (i know they don`t like xcompmgr and vice-versa). The problem is that after some time (2-3 hours) xcompmgr starts glitching. Windows overlay, some become transparent etc. If is simply kill it in task-manager and restart again, it works normally for 2-3 hours, and then it starts all over again. I start xcompmgr with xcompmgr -cCfF -t-5 -l-5 -r4.2 -o.55 -D3.
This is how it looks like:

xcompmgr is by no means perfect. I have written a small script to restart xcompmgr and bound it to a suitable key. Thus, as soon as there are any misfunctions (usually windows build up becomes slow and ruggy) I simply press that key and everything runs smoothly again for some time.
To know or not to know ...
... the questions remain forever.

It used to work but doesn't any more. And I can't find any log or output!

I've had similar experiences with xcompmgr, running up the cpu after 3 - 4 hrs and slowing everything down. I'm now using xcompmgr-dana (in AUR) and have had no problems, works smoothly.
