I guess there's some illegal black magic happening in-between compiz and 
apps regardless of UI toolkit libraries. Apps such as dasher that 
present rectangles and text at fast speeds do not present any tearing 
when I have the *compositor* set to vsync. Firefox with the SmoothWheel 
extension for liquid smooth scrolling is tear free until I turn vsync 
off on the *compositor*. My own apps are tear free until I turn off.. 
you get the point, I hope.

Of course, I could get into a technical acronym-fest with you, but that 
wouldn't be very helpful as real world examples would.

I don't think you understand how X works. :)
