Thank you.

Rotating cubes always elicit the most wonderful WOWs from all assembled 
but they're just not for me.

Speaking of WOWs, my absolute favorite program of all time is Etherape. 
 If I'm not already running it, I always make sure it's up when 
Manglement is around.  It's even better than the Machine That Goes BING. 
 They stare, transfixed.  If I get my way, it will be on a 48" monitor 
atop our real monitoring systems.

I can tell you beyond a shadow of a doubt that it does not have 
xcompmgr, largely because I just looked.  Other than that, it's just a 
checkbox in the Window Manager Tweaks.
