It's possible to do instead of 3d desktop.. but on really with it..

Thank you. Where to look at it in the code?
Beryl and Compiz are basically next generation window managers. 3ddesktop was never really designed for what you want, but Beryl and Compiz are... plus a bit more. 
Yeah-yeah-yeah.
Beryl is buggy, that's the shame that they forked. On my i965 it works like a.. Compiz-fusion is kind of more interesting, but, again, both beryl/compiz are WMs. And my favourite fluxbox is not DE, it is WM. To hack compiz to fluxbox-like is more then I can.
If you've got 3d working under linux (3ddesktop working would be a good indicator) then you can probably get beryl/compiz working.. 
glxinfo | grep render is the best indicator, you know ;) .
I like it clean and fast. If I need only mentioned above and it is possible to hack 3ddesktop into, why should I have deal with loads of python, unstable code and so on? 3ddesktop is perfectly stable and usable for me.
