I don't think "in progress" is very accurate, at least I have not seen a lot of code going in, granted I haven't been paying huge amounts of attention. I don't understand why it would be a huge effort for 2D stuff like minimize animations, drop shadows, etc. Think xrender rather than opengl. But, I have not really been involved in the conversations about it and can't say I have a deep understanding.
