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.
