That zoom doesn't works with "GNOME Classic". The reason is that the
magnifier is not a program, but a feature of GNOME 3 desktop (gnome
shell). If you need to use "Gnome Classic" the best option is use compiz
plugin eZoom. gnome-mag (AFAIK) is not an option, as it was not an
option on GNOME 2 due his performance problems.

Color inversion as a zoom effect will be available on GNOME 3.6. It is
already available on the beta versions (since 3.5.4), if you want to
experiment.

Well, as I said, one option is install a beta version of GNOME, in order
to have the effect implemented on gnome-shell, and the possibility to
configure it on gnome-control-center.
