I'm still trying to figure out if it looks cool or, well, stupid.
(Not stupid in a M$ Bob kind of way, more in the

it would *seriously* suck CPU to implement most of that, or at least
require hardware OpenGL and everything layered on top of that.  (The
freedesktop people have talked about that sort of thing.)
