           Summary: VERY slow and choppy dragging of transparent windows
                    (folder view on desktop especially) on Intel Graphics
                    i865
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: matt.palermo at gmail.com


Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2 p1.0.2) 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I compiled kde-svn (through layman on Gentoo) this past Sunday Aug 17, 2008.  I
have an Intel i865G video chip.  Window management was very smooth when NO
effects were enabled. The "default" Folder View of ~/Desktop that sits on the
KDE "Desktop" looked good.  It was un draggable or resizable. It was very
choppy and VERY slow to drag or resize.  It also pegged the CPU to do it.

I understand that the i865 chip isn't designed for fancy things, but it plays
RTCW and Q3A very well, so I didn't think draging / resizing simple small
windows would be too much work for it.

Is this a bug?  Should anything transparent be unmanipulatable?  Is the more Qt
than KDE?

(these are honest questions, not flames)

My desktop was indeed much lighter on resources.  KDE devs and TrollTech have
done that part well, but some basic things (such as moving/resizing anything
transparent) just isn't working.
