Actually, I think the point is to put the hooks where they really
belong. Understand there will be some advantages and some limitations. To
start, you will have to use gnome. There are many other window managers,
but you will have to use gnome. But if you do use gnome, there won't be a
need for something like msaa. 

Msaa is a crutch for what should have been done. As for off scren models
and the like, I don't personally know. I think that some of that was bable
to impress people quite honestly.
