I thought the Compiz people got that from Apple's OS X..  Anyway, I think all
that stuff is cool looking, but I tend to feel like that stuff isn't very
useful.  It's good for an OS to look nice, butsometimes I think those kinds of
effects can get in the way of work sometimes.  It can take a second or so to
draw those effects, and since those effects will happen a lot, that time can
add up..
