"A preview of Novell Linux Desktop 10 (NLD10) was shown to an audience at the Solutions Linux conference this week in Paris. We have a selection of videos which display a variety of amazing effects through the use of XGL, including transparency, wobbling windows, a 3D Cube for desktop switching, and a task switcher which displays a preview of windows."

Update: More info here complete with more videos and screenshots...
Novell is announcing its contribution of the Xgl graphics subsystem and the 'Compiz ' compositing manager to the X.org project. These enhancements open up a whole world of hardware acceleration, fancy animation, separating hardware resolution from software resolution, and more. As a result, Linux desktops will become more usable, end-user productivity will increase, and Linux is firmly positioned at the forefront of client computing technology.

Quartz 2D Extreme is still disabled by default.

By the way, just because there's a "wobbly" plugin to glxcompmgr/compiz it doesn't mean you have to use it, and it doesn't mean it will be enabled by default or even shipped by default. I don't know if you noticed but the videos don't show a production ready system.

I guess you just had to complain huh?
