There's a patch in bugzilla for this somewhere - until recently I
couldn't test this (no composite support) - but I now have a shiny new
Intel graphics laptop so hopefully we can make the UI's look all flashy.

If you want to find the patch in bugzilla and modify it so that it
applies svn trunk I'll make sure it gets in. If not, point me at the
patch and I'll see what I can do (am on a plane at the moment).

Thanks,

Richard.
