You are correct but it's the double-edged whammy!  MSAA sure does enable
moreso than it doesn't but it is lip service from MacroSloth at best.

In Window-Eyes for example, it's pretty currious that to open an Ecit Box
that one must turn MSAA off! in Internet Exploder
  go figure!

By the  same token, Gnome 2 can't possibly guarantee that it's a seamless
operation.  We shall see of course and I have greater personal confidence
in Gnome 2 than in MSAA which looked good on paper but we all know the
rest of the story.
