>Description:
The xcompmgr port has a bug which prevents shadows from being rendered.

I have submitted a patch upstream, but it hasn't been rolled into a release:

  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46285

Would it be possible to have this patch available in the xcompmgr port so that we FreeBSD folks can benefit from it?

Thanks!
>How-To-Repeat:
Install xcompmgr. Attempt a configuration that displays a drop-shadow effect around windows, e.g.:

xcompmgr -CcfF -I 0.015 -O 0.03 -D 2 -t -6 -l -9 -r 9 -o.67

Notice that there are no shadows to be seen :(
>Fix:
Apply the patch here:

Shade yourself in the cool shadows of your xterms...
