You can do that with WindowFX on a Windows box too.

umm, that hardly compares - not even close. xgl is a 3d desktop and windowFX is, well, just window effects. did you watch the entire video?

I did watch the whole video, but all I saw was some fading menus and bouncy windows. What do they do in the demo that's not possible with WindowFX? You mean the zooming and rotating the virtual desktops? Maybe SphereXP is a better comparison.

has anybody tried out xgl on gnome? what's the performance like? i don't run anything bleeding edge - p4 2.something ghz, 1gb ram, etc - so it's not really worth it if the cool effects lag and cause X to crash all the time..

but it seems easy enough to set up on debian
