Is there any hope for an opengl backend (like quartz---i absolutely
love apple's "expose" and wish desperately that my box would do the
same)?  i've heard of nuvu using directfb, but i don't know the status
of that project.

[and as for a mascot, i'd vote for a prairie dog; they've got black
xor white tails, they've got these incredible underground communities,
and they send messages to each other (with pleasant honking noises).]
