[BUG] Bad performance on xfce

[gnzsnz]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [X] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

bad xrdp performance on xcfe desktop (potentially affecting other flavors)

xfce window manager composition is affecting performance, disabling has a significant improvement on performance, with minor funcionality impact

command line

xfconf-query --channel=xfwm4 --property=/general/use_compositing --type=bool --set=false --create

it might be possible to disable composition directly on Xorg

Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection

although I have not tested it, this could be a good solution for the base image

Expected Behavior

improved performance

Steps To Reproduce

Install an app use it daily, performance is lagging

Environment

- OS: ubuntu 22.04
- How docker service was installed: official docker ppa

CPU architecture

x86-64

Docker creation

sample docker-compose.yml

Container logs

nothing is displayed on the logs

Performance is greatly improved after disabling window manager composition

xfconf-query --channel=xfwm4 --property=/general/use_compositing --type=bool --set=false --create

I synced what we do in webtop on init https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-rdesktop/blob/master/root/defaults/startwm.sh#L3 It requires the container is restarted one time or an existing home directory is mounted in but it is the best I can do with xfce and not need to babysit it.

thanks for your reply @thelamer

I'm disabling composition like this,

xfconf-query --channel=xfwm4 --property=/general/use_compositing --type=bool --set=false --create

which has the same end result, and less dependencies.

just to highlight another alternative. I'm fine with both options
