Bert: I have done exactly what you said in other mail:

$ svn co http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/olpc squeak-vm
$ cd squeak-vm/platforms/unix
$ make
$ sudo make install

... which installs in /usr/local


And works perfect!!!

However, I have a question. In the link I see this VM is under "olpc". Is this correct?

many thanks,

mariano

Usually the VM / OS ignores the alpha channel of the display. But with composite window managers on Linux, it is honored, and the bug is exposed.

This is a VM problem and has a fix, as already discussed previously:

Thanks Bert. I wonder what would need to happen for this fix to be included in the compiled VM's most people use.

Cheers,
