Just by watching the video I tought that Compiz is not a 3d wm it just uses OpenGL to draw everything, what makes possible todo all that flashy things as cube rotating from one desktop top to another with a video stills playing between them, and the True transparent windows.. A 3d wm is something like 3dwm (dead) or Looking Glass where you can rotate windows to Z axis.. > doign 3d will mean writign e to DEPEND on opengl and > thus lock out anyoen with older or unsupported gfx cards, open up a can of > worms for stability, bugs and performance, and mean e wont get released for > many many many more years to come. I totaly agree about don't lock EFL on OpenGL, but the OpenGL backend could suport all that features or at least just extend e17 (or a future e18) to suport them..
