Current Behavior

When running i3lock with --compositor and having xcompmgr running on my system the i3lock experiences extreme lag.
Typing letters registers after 10 or so seconds and everything becomes unusable.

If I disable xcompmgr - everything works fine.
Also if I have xcompmgr running and i3lock without --composite - things work, but the i3lock does not get rendered until I press a key.

Expected Behavior

i3lock should work with no lag

Reproduction Instructions

  1. Run xcompmgr -c &
  2. Run xss-lock ~/.local/bin/lock.sh
  3. Test with xset s 4 2

lock.sh

#!/bin/sh
