Actually, I think the point is to put the hooks where they really belong. Understand there will be some advantages and some limitations. To start, you will have to use gnome. There are many other window managers, but you will have to use gnome. But if you do use gnome, there won't be a need for something like msaa. Msaa is a crutch for what should have been done. As for off scren models and the like, I don't personally know. I think that some of that was bable to impress people quite honestly. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nowlan's Theory: He who hesitates is not only lost, but several miles from the next freeway exit.
