All that is really needed for rt is SaveUnders. I use rt, and that is
all I have turned on. Also, from the rt-0.0.4b README:
|When root-tail starts up xevent handling is turned on for the root
|window and all exposed areas of the root get cached, as windows move
|and more of the background is exposed it too gets added to x's cache,
|only when an uncahced area of the background changes will rt
|refresh. This means that if you want the best performace i recommend

|caching.
So, in my autoexec I start rt immediately following the Pager but
before anything else. This works fine for me.
