Package: xfwm4
Version: 4.8.3-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I've installed Debian Wheezy XFCE on an old laptop. 
I found that playing video was a problem- in default resolution, 
a lot of frames were dropped. In full screen, 
there was severe lag and image break up. 

If I disable compositing, this problem goes away. 
A Live USB Debian Squeeze XFCE session plays video OK
with compositing enabled, so it looks like a bug in the
Debian Wheezy version of XFCE windows manager compositing
with this particular hardware (I have the same set up on another laptop
with no issues).
