as background image.

Set the default refresh rate.

Use a fast texture filter.
.TP
.BI \-\-indirect\-rendering
Force an indirect rendering context. Use this when running compiz on AIGLX.
.TP

Disable strict binding of textures. This may improve performance in some
situations (running on XGL). As opposed to strict binding, however, this isn't
guaranteed to work. Use with care.

Disable the session management.

previous window manager.
