Ah, OK. 
- Does that mean we don't have to 'fix' XAA any more for composite?
- Will we 'automatically' get offscreen fb storage of COMPOSITE
  windows doing this? XAA can do offscreen pixmaps. If a wrapping
  layer makes a lower layer believe that these windows are really
  pixmaps it should work. (I have to admit I've never looked at
  the BS code).
