That MacOSish application switcher is sweet. Too bad the damn thing freezes the entire machine after two minutes (using precompiled Ubuntu package) probably due to the ever so crappy ATi drivers... :(

Not really- this Xserver uses Opengl to render everything so it's faster and runs on top of the normal X server. Or are you referring to the xcomposite extension for drop shadows, Skippy for exposeish stuff, 3ddesktop for the cube? Those are kinda slow...

Can't think of an equivalent for the zoom and jiggling though (E17?)
