It's a nice feature indeed. It's also very handy that you can simply drag a window to the edge of the screen and the CUBE will auto-roll over to the next viewport. Excellent! I'm still in the processes of exploring and fine-tuning the XGL plugins. A lot of shortcuts don't work (or I use them wrong). Thank you for your reply and information. I never thaught I would get it all running so smooth since SLED 10 was more 'Out of the Box' as possible. I’ve found out about the ‘right click opacity yesterday while playing.

One of the things I really like about XGL is the fact that you can right click any app's title block and adjust the opacity as well. That is sometimes really useful. I've also found that everyday performance is increased slightly since a great deal of the windowing functions are now handled by the graphics card, leaving the cpu to spend more time on handling other tasks. Richard Derek,
