imaginary(?) window manager feature

[Luke-Jr]

Xgl is obsolete now-- AIGLX is complete and included with the more recent 
releases of X.org. Also, there is a fork of Compiz called Beryl that is 
developed by the community instead of Novell. One feature is that it does not 
depend on GNOME, and has modular decoration managers. One of them, 
Aquamarine, is designed to provide KDE decorations-- still not perfect KDE 
integration (shortcut keys and virtual desktops are broken/changed), but 
better than Compiz. :)
