2.2.2 Configuring Desktop Effects

Xgl is an Xserver architecture that lets you turn your desktop into a rotating 3-D cube, tile windows
so they don't overlap, and switch tasks while viewing live thumbnails. You can enable translucent or
transparent windows, zoom in and out of the desktop screen, and use other window effects such as
shadows, fading, and transformations. You can also configure windows to snap to other windows
and screen edges when they are moved.
