I even switched into the lowest resolution mode on my system "640x480" and could not reproduce this bug. > > 2) When moving windows around a trail of window graphics always follows. It > looks ugly.

This appears to probably be video card dependent. I have a Radeon 9200 which is a current low end card (~ $50 USD). I can see very little tearing even when moving windows around as fast as possible. Even that is pretty hard to see since my eyes usually don't focus fast enough to see the tearing. > 3) Network transparency doesn't work on slow connections. It need's at least > 10kbit to be usable.

Do you happen to know of any? Also a 10kbit network connection isn't all that much really. Any modern modem should be able to do that. Chris
