A Very OddFox Desktop

Description

Hey guys long time no screenshot so here's my new setup with the latest KDE and XGL/Compiz, taking full advantage of all the nice tricks that come along with using Quinnstorm's extremely fine work. Gentoo Linux, ~amd64, here's the list of things shown:

Wallpaper - Dreamflow by Zueuk
Icons - Tango
Style - QtCurve (Dull Glass)
Window Decorations - CGWD with the KDEVista theme from kde-look.org
Superkaramba - BiohazarD

Things continue to evolve on the 3D Linux desktop front, and XGL continues to amaze me with it's possibilities. The About KDE window is distorted because the snapshot was taken while it was closing, the Konqueror window is distorted because it was becoming the active window again at that moment. These effects can be changed at will, and what I wasn't able to capture in a satisfactory way was the Blur plugin for Quinnstorm's Compiz. Basically it allows for the effect you get in Vista with Aero Glass, but there are options to fine-tune it so that it doesn't end up getting in your way.

Anyways, thought I'd help show people that a Linux desktop can be just as pretty as any other, and you don't need a monster of a computer like with Vista.
