Excellent example of both why we need the wrapper, and why we want to have 3D 
games on the games spin so people can check to see if things work in the store :)

I currently can't get 3D desktop effects to work on either my i386 i810, or my 
x86_64 r300 machine. Is this a known problem? Could someone with working 3D 
desktop effects please check to see if opengl-games-utils works properly or 
not, and possibly come up with a patch to make it work in this scenario if 
necessary?

Thanks & Regards,
