Please don't miss understand me I'm totally happy with this new way of interacting with my PC and it does make my user experience more pleasurable. I have try the Sun Looking glass the liveCD that was put out but I think in general the hardware is simply no ready for that. I agree with you on all that you have said and I think that my with Xgl and compiz graphic does respond faster I'm like you, I think its about time that we have the new Generation of GUI.
I think its good also that SuSE/Novell is moving in that direction.

I think although the addition of compiz added with ne Xgl are eye candy
Most users think it is eye candy, just like they think Apple's QuartzExtreme (also OpenGL framebuffer-based) is too. In reality, both are _much_faster_ and _more_efficient_ at 2D too -- than using windows in over-lapping system memory. The only "eye candy" non-sense right now is Windows Graphics Foundation (WGF) 1.1 (based on DirectX 9) going into Vista -- WGF 2.0 (based on DirectX 10, pushed back to 2008) is more on-par with QuartzExtreme or Xgl. |__|___|___|__\\|// - ?__|___|_____|___|_____| |__|___|___|__(o o)______|___|_____|___|_____| |__|___|___oOOO(_)OOOo____|___|_____|___|_____| email : ephlodur@rocketmail.com What we need is Awareness we can't get carelless. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
