Dealing with xcomposite windows that aren't available

[Ranko Kohime]

This is a feature request, really.

I'm assuming that OBS knows whether an xcomposite source is unavailable (no window captured, and so OBS currently makes that source transparent) or if the captured window is not being rendered (I'm not sure about desktop environments, but under Awesome, clients not on the active tag are not rendered, and so currently show as red when selecting, or freeze when switching tags)

My request is that what OBS does in these situations be configurable. Say the source is not available, I'd like to show a static image, and if it's not being rendered, show a different image, etc.

I think I worked around this by just having a static image lower down in the stack, which when the composite window is available, that simply gets rendered on top.
