first question.. as far as I am aware that order is just set and followed, nothing ignored. If I have my own local pets I usually put my "local" repo first. In my local repo I usually only put the latest apps that didn't make it into wary/quirky, such as latest Pmusic. I have the luxury of the brainwaves repo so I upload all stuffs there first and occasionally test that those packages download correctly.
second.. 'z' prefix is for nothing more than surety that that pet gets executed last in the woof build process, thus overwriting anything installed previously, and that's it, they are treated no differently to any other pet. I generally use these to overcome issues in the default woof template, such as enhancements to PPM or whatever (this is how Barry's 'zzz' package works too, overwriting original woof stuff), and the cups fix overwrites the default in cups.
third.. you need all entries
, although I think GrumpyWolfe does it differently, there is a discussion in the extra pets forum somewhere.

As
DaveS discovered early on we have compositing in spup, and it works quite well. I think it works better when at least mesa is installed so I made a Startup script that detects if mesa is installed (well libGL actually) and runs xcompmgr, There is a nag screen which can either turn off compositing (may be preferable on older kit) or at least turn off the nag screen. (see attachment)
Enjoy!

Thanks for catching the qt bug, I'll reupload the package. Also I can get the VLC plugin recognised now, it was missing xcb-util, which will be going into spup-056 by default, it's tiny. However, the VLC browser plugin seems not to work at all, at least in Seamonkey.
I might make the plugin a separate pet, maybe it will work in a different browser.
Cheers
