    I managed to get Xgl working, so I'd thought I'd share some of that goodness.

    Wobbly windows (sorry about tearing, that's an nvidia issue)

    Before, when I was using Gentoo I could never get it to work, however, on Debian. It takes hardly any time at all. In fact, finding a theme I liked and then configuring all the plugins and the various options took more time.

    And before anyone asks, yes, wobbly windows are actually useful.

    Here's a somewhat low quality presentation, however, you'll get the idea.

    it only takes a couple command lines to make xgl work. if you know what you're doing, it'll take a couple minutes. if you don't it'll take you a while.

    Ramble, what monitor are you using that XGL thingy on ?

    Looks like a very large amount of desktop real estate. Dont know if that is just how it looks.
