Well, everything with a transparency, as you stated above, seems to be 
broken, reading Email is a horror, most web sites are rendered broken in 
Firefox 3. Luckily, within xterm everthing is ok.

I recompiled xorg and my windowmanager, no effect. Even xdm shows up 
with black bars were normally 'LOGIN:' and 'PASSWORD:' shows up ...

Is there a solution? The situation is serious ...
