Talk:Stacking window manager
Who says stacking window managers have to use painter's algorithm?
This:
Stacking is a very slow process, requiring the redrawing of every window one-by-one, from the rear-most and outer-most to the front most and inner-most. Many stacking window managers don't always redraw background windows. Others can detect when a redraw of all windows is required, as some applications request stacking when their output has changed.
contradicts this:
A stacking window manager is a window manager that draws all windows in a specific order, allowing them to overlap, using a technique called painter's algorithm.

"Microsoft Windows XP still exclusively uses a stacking window manager, which has presented severe limitations to its ability to display hardware-accelerated content inside normal windows,"
There is no source of information for this content. What are these "severe limitations"? I have seen accelerated content running just fine inside normal windows on Microsoft Windows XP.

It seems to me like the article is very biased against its own subject. Perhaps it could be rewritten in part?
