Yeah, it needs a lot of work... For example, it crashes if you use
GNOME's MouseKeys. On the Ubuntu Forums, there's a thread about Xgl
that is near 60 pages long already, and some of those posts are
various problems people have with it. I did enable it here, and it's
slick, but it's definitely not ready from prime time yet.
