   Aaah, okay, makes sense - although the actual error message is quite   
   misleading. It says that it cannot find the composite extension (isn't   
   that part of Xorg?) and that it needs Xorg 6.8 and the appropriate   
   entry in xorg.conf (which is both true for my PC).

   Hm, that is a possibility. But I'd rather just disable it for remote   
   session - unfortunately there's no option for that.
