So I think it's inevitable that people _will_ want to use the 3D engine to minimize and maximize windows. Dismissing it because it isn't "useful" is short-sighted. The desktop experience is to a large degree about a lot of small visual details that make the desktop appear richer.
I never understood why the 2D engine and 3D engine were ever seperate...
Let's see, XFree86 supports 2D for about 50 different chips, and it supports 3D for about 5. MS might be in a position to cast way support for older hardware, but I don't think that we are.
Regardless, this isn't a core X issue. It's a window manager issue. Any window manager is free to use OpenGL if it wants.
