Code review comment for lp:~vanvugt/compiz/fix-1046661

!(flags & (Desktop | Alpha) is clearer, I think. Programmers think in logic, not words. We don't need to be translating clear logic into extraneous English. It complicates the thought process. Also, "ignoreWindow" is not accurate because it's not the only condition for ignoring a window.

Yeah, the comment is slightly out-dated still. It belongs next to some code that's not there any more. But technically it's still true. status is false for alpha windows (and other cases too).

Alpha "matters" for FullscreenRegion, only because we don't want to accidentally unredirect a translucent fullscreen window. You are right that alpha does not matter for the non-fullscreen windows.
