My observations:
- They didn't show a non-responding process of glxgears, even though it was 
already running... why? I guess it doesn't work yet?
- They didn't show a Xgl-based app (modded glxgears, fish, globe) at a 
rotation. Is it shown *on* the desktop, *on* the viewscope, or *in front of* 
or *behind* the desktop?
- What if I want more than 6 virtual desktops? Maybe just a large sphere for 
the desktop with an optional lens on the viewpoint to make the seen region 
look square?

Other than that, looks kind of cool. Too bad for me that I don't trust 
hardware to render my primary desktop (GLX is disabled, even though 
supported). ;)
