for some reason the hanging doesn't happen as often when using compiz
as opposed to metacity. I can live with this as long as I can be sure
that when operating in fullscreen mode for several hours at the
performance I am not going to have any hanging. My casual observations
make me optimistic but if anybody has seen it hang while in fullscreen
mode please let me know immediately so I can find an alternative
solution for the gig on Fri.<br>

window. CPU appears to be maxed out during that time. I tried NVIDIA
graphics driver version 96 and 177 and the results were the same. If I
switch to the open source nividia driver the problem disappears --- and
I enjoy 75% CPU usage showing only a live feed to a Gem window on a 4G
AMD 64bit dual core. ;-)
lspci describes my graphics card as an nVidia GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

Besides using the open source driver, anybody know of a solution?

i have seen that behaviour as well. the only solution i could come up
with was not to move the gemwin with the cursor. also resizing a gemwin
with rendering turned on doesn't work for me (the window becomes
resized, but only the old area of the window is redrawn). the only
solution i could come up is to set all window properties through
messages to gemwin.
