Moreover, the windowdecoration has performanceissues here. I've used it for 
about a week, but it makes startup of some apps considerably slower (I 
suppose due to the fake transparency work it has to do). Also switching 
virtual desktops can become a pain in the ass, I noticed stalls due to high 
CPU load of a couple of seconds. (On an AMD64 3000+.)

Though I think it looks nice, I'm not sure those performance penalties are 
worth it. I'm back to plastic windeco now, which feels lightning fast.
