Linux/XGL/Compiz-like effects with VD & WindowFX ?

from Stardock Forums
I installed Ubuntu 6.06 with Gnome and XGL/Compiz on a spare harddisk the other day and I must say I am quite impressed by the desktop switching via cube that is possible there. Wouldn't that be a nice idea for Stardock VD maybe in combination with WindowFX ?

Running quite smooth on my maybe outdated Ati Radeon 9600 Saphire.

Haven't dealt with Linux for a while, but Ubuntu is quite nice. For a Linux newbie like me it was quite a pain to install the latest ati-drivers and XGL/Compiz. But I began to work with computers in those DOS-times, so working with the terminal was not as hard as expected. And there are quite nice How-To's on different sites.

I'm running it now..
The window effects feel like they're built in hardware.
I'm running the live CD on a 2.8Ghz machine. Very fast and smooth.
It's probbaly a linux thing. I hope stardock developers can get a good look at XGL Desktop..
