I have desktop effects turned off, as they don't (currently) seem stable enough for regular use. Note that you can also turn on "inactive window color effects" (Appearance->Colors). Pros: - Far more flexible than the WM effect; you can change the color, do things like dim the text, etc. Cons: - The repaints apparently bother some people - Because it's using the color scheme instead of a WM effect it's "less pervasive" (though, feel free to gripe about particular apps you'd like to see use it better ;-) ), and only works on Qt applications. -- Matthew Save soybeans!
