GNOME 2.22 has been released, bringing a whole ream of new apps, features and improvements to GNOME users.

Among the most significant additions in this release are the addition of a photo and video taking application that integrates with your webcam called Cheese, a new VNC viewer called Vinagre and the addition of an advanced and integrated IDE, Anjuta.

Notable improvements are the improved support for DVD playback, subtitles and VLC support in the Totem video player, an improved international clock applet, Google calendar integration in Evolution, improved accessibility for web apps and a whole new library to support networked file-systems.

Not to complain ...

... but I agree with the questions. Especially since I have seen the "unaccelerated" transparency in Enlightenment for a few years now. What is so different between what Rasterman and others were able to accomplish since 1998 when I first recall seeing the feat accomplished in E16. I know there is a configuration setting that allows for windows that are being moved to be either 'technical','outline','show windows' and 'translucent' or something to that effect. And as I reall you could see other windows and the background 'through' the window being moved.
