I like the idea...
But unfortunately switching between desktops gets awfully slow. Too slow
for me (as I switch between desktops a lot).
But again, otherwise I like it...

After digging a bit more, I found the following post:

http://lists.userlinux.com/pipermail/discuss/2004-March/004625.html

--- I quote: -

It's "magic smoke". Electrical engineer lore is that when you burn out 
an electronic component, you cause the "magic smoke" that makes it work 
to be released. Once the magic smoke is gone, the component doesn't work 
any longer. Debian is supposed to be the magic smoke that makes your 
computer work.

Thanks
