I would encourage you to check out the latest happenings in the X.org 6.8.x 
series. Using an NVidia based graphics board (and ATI when they catch up) it 
is possible to enable the experimental xcompmgr tools which provide a double 
buffered, hardware accelerated, drop shadowed and animated desktop. It's 
compatible with almost all existing X11 apps.

It's basically a complete rip-off of the OS X graphics system QuartzExtreme. 
And it's quite functional.
