You are joking, aren't you? I don't know what you
mean by "lesser
graphic-cards," but I have a Toshiba laptop with
Intel graphics and F 13
that I use as a showpiece. All of the Winderz
fanboiz and the
MacFanatics are blown away by the desktop cube and
what it can do. Then
I tell them that it's only available for Linux and
watch their faces drop.

Perhaps he means that the default profiles should be a bit
more snazzy. I agree with that. Default Clearlooks is
dated.
On the other hand, since learning a bit about how Gnome
and GDM work I have a general "make my desktop look sweet"
ritual I go through every time I do a new install (for me
or anyone else). I've never had complaints at all. Meh...
Maybe what this really means is we should make the "sweet
FX" more prevalent, one-clickish accessible, or something
else along those lines. Compiz, Gnome settings, desktop
effects, themes and GDM are *not* very well integrated --
and there's no reason they shouldn't be. Compiz is a great
idea, but it does only work when supported 3D hardware is
present (or 3D drivers are set to work against all
warnings of proprietary evil) and doesn't give any
lesser-but-cool options -- just full-bore awesome or
all-bore...bore.
Worth thinking about.
