(Get the code!)
It's an XP inside the VirtualBox, and I believe my VBox config has nothing special regarding the video. Just the "Virtualbox additions" installed, that's all.
Anyway, I have just quit using Compiz on this machine because I observed several system locks (not real locks, I can SSH into it from another machine, but it is locally unusable) with screensavers and Compiz. Compiz goes 100% CPU usage and the keyboard becomes dead after some time in screensaver mode. I believe Compiz has hard times managing perpetual changes in the root window, that would probably need another bug report which I'm too lazy to file... That's the very reason why I had quit using Beryl a year ago after only a few days using it : The machine often became unusable after having spent some time in screensaver mode. Compiz does the same now and I have no time to try to find a fix. As soon as something makes my machine unusable, I'm afraid I have to quit using it immediately...
