Same here. I am looking for both a video board and new GNO enhancement. Of
course, since a video board will open up more possibilities, I am more
interested in that. Jawaid has his priotiry, and we should respect his. I am
also waiting patiently for the new Switch It! (which in my case is more
important than GNO), but I would just sent him a email to ask politely, 
instead of flaming.

Dave, if your DRWM support Second Sight, your program migh become the
standard of the next generation GS environment, where people might be writing
xprocesses happily which support the new video board. Don't waste the chance.
:) DRWM can be something as important as Finder in the GS community one
day.
