BTW, it's based on xcompmgr (which keith packard claims is awful code), but with, I'd imagine, fairly heavy changes.

Firstly, any chance you can also run a test with a later Enlightenment version. E17 is ancient (we are actually up to E19 Stable).
Secondly, any chance we can grab another test in the near future with an nvidia or ATI card? Very few serious gamers would use Intel..
Thanks,

Everything except KDE was somewhat predictable. Doesn't KDE have a feature where it disables composition when running fullscreen games? hence why it has such good performance?
Would running a game in windowed mode/wine desktop have negative performance implications in KDE?
I personally use XFCE for my desktop needs, mainly because it's light and looks decent. I would use KDE, but IMO it's ugly. I tried configuring it in the past to make it look decent, but I always ended up with something that annoyed me after one or two weeks of use .
