yes, eye candy is important. it's also important to recognize that XGL, 
COMPOSITE and other such concept are allowing us to do things in the UI we 
couldn't do that improve usability; small things like live thumbnails of 
windows and their contents, extra-window painting, organic (versus 
mechanical) window and widget movement .... they can make a measurable 
difference for usability and user comfort.
