Anyone got any estimates on CPU/GPU usage if we finagled it through  
Compiz?

I think that might be the only reasonable way to do this, and such a  
feature could likely well wait until compositing is more standardized  
across the Ubuntu desktop.

Besides, aren't there more pressing visual niceties like that textured  
panel, nicer drop-shadows, etc?
