Bug#1008602: debian-edu-config: Xfce/MATE in X2Go sessions very sluggish with Compositing enabled in xfwm



Package: debian-edu-config
Severity: normal
Version: 2.12.20

Currently, Xfce by default has compositing enabled for new user profiles. This is basically ok.

However, if I try to connect to a combi-server via an X2Go thinclient, the enabled compositing in xfwm makes the whole X2Go session very sluggishly and virtually unusable.

A real fix for this could be provided in Xfce4 itself (see librda, Remote Desktop Awareness library). Until that has landed in Xfce (I might provide a patch for Xfce some time), we should consider disabling compositing in Xfce4-

Same applies for the MATE desktop environment. Compositing should be disabled by default, as well.

This makes the desktop environments look more simple, but they work out-of-the-box then when accessed via X2Go thinclients.

This is probably very debatable... Maybe it needs to be covered by documentation instead?
