> "No aliasing when rotating/wobbling windows"

Has anyone ever used those things for more than a single day? I honestly thought the current compositing window managers don't even support that novelty stuff anymore.

In the context that's not the point -- another plus for client-side decorations is that no synchronization is needed between the decorator and client for resizing.

Personally I think client-side decorations are far easier to implement reliably and would welcome them becoming default.

I use wobbling windows because it makes my interaction with the system seem more transparent. Rigid windows feel unnatural, but wobbly windows let me become absorbed by my task.
Rotating? That's something very common.
Rotating an entire display is very common, but that's not what GP is talking about.
