[3ddesktop-dev] Re: 0.2.0 release

The new version is working much better for me. I never could use 0.1.7
because I'd get strange black screens and loss of keyboard control. I
was using a semi-patched 0.1.6.

Now, the only thing that I can find is barely even a problem. On the
--acquire switch, if I specify more than 19ms, then it never attempts to
acquire any of the screens. Unfortunately, 19ms is not long enough for
enlightenment to have figured everything out properly every time. 

I'm using enlightenment (of course), with 10 workspaces, and no virtual
desktops. I've got a texturesize of 512 set, and always use the
--fastest switch. I think I preferred the default texturesize of 512 as
apposed to the 1024, but hey, that's just a preference thing.. that's
what configuration options are for. 1024 is just a little too slow for
my tastes. 

Also with enlightenment, I get a strange flash just as I start to zoom
in from all the way out, but only when I'm coming from workspace #1 to
some other workspace. I'm pretty sure that it's probably enlightenment's
problem. Enlightenment has always treated transitions to/from workspace
#1 differently than all the other workspaces.

Incredible job. I really like the new version/features.
