 XFdrake does the wrong logic. Composite was changed, by upstream,
from default off to default on. There is a bug report at
https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=38841
but it doesn't clearly describe that XFdrake should also switch
it's logic.

 If you can't live without compiz or kde 4's new kwin effects,
then you are in trouble :-) Is this script packaged by mandriva?
Otherwise I suggest reporting upstream/the script author. If
you can post it, or a link to it, I can also try to make a patch.
