Hi!

Just by watching the video I tought that Compiz is not a 3d wm it just
uses OpenGL to draw everything, what makes possible todo all that
flashy things as cube rotating from one desktop top to another with a
video stills playing between them, and the True transparent windows..
A 3d wm is something like 3dwm (dead) or Looking Glass where you can
rotate windows to Z axis..

I totaly agree about don't lock EFL on OpenGL, but the OpenGL backend
could suport all that features or at least just extend e17 (or a
future e18) to suport them..


Just my 2c..
