XGL is pretty nice in terms of eye candy!

I run Kubuntu Dapper with XGL at home, and it's pretty nice. I don't run
it full time now though because Xorg7 won't run dual monitors off from
two different video cards for me, and I have to use a crappy 32Mb nvidia
 dual-head card, and I can't get XGL to span two monitors, although
normal X will. Although I know it can be done!

I think KDE with XGL standalone is pretty sit. I'm not a huge fan of the
dashboard, to me it gets in the way and you're always having to move it
to different sides of the screen to get it out of the way. But that
could just be me. I'm resisting the OSX crazes, I may be overly bias. =)

Also, I've never seen OSX go dual screen or triple screen. Is this
possible and does it work nice?
