[3ddesktop-dev] Shortcuts and grey screens

Hi, I'm testing 3DDesktop on my Fedora Core 3 with Gnome, it works quite 
fine, but I have a few suggestions to improve it:

When I use it at the first time, all the floating screens except the current 
are grey squares. It seems like the screenshot is only done when 3DDesktop 
has visited the desktop, until then you'll only see grey screens.

Another thing is that the snapshots are not updated automatically. So, you 
only see the snapshot from the last time you were on that desktop and maybe 
things have changed. A nice optional feature would be that these snapshots 
were updated each x seconds.

Also, I find that 3DDesktop is a nice effect but it is quite slow: press the 
shortcut key to launch it, wait for the zoom out, use the arrow keys to 
select the desktop, click Intro and wait for the zoom in. I think it would 
be better if you could pass parameters to the program so you could switch to 
the desktop of your choice. I mean, something like running "3ddesktop 3" if 
you want to go to your 3rd desktop. This way, you could assign F9 to desktop 
1, F10 to desktop 2, F11 to desktop 3, and F12 to desktop 4 and this way you 
can switch desktops quickly while still having the cool 3d effect.
