Those were very interesting times for the desktop. I remember slooowly backing off all the effects after changing Nvidia drivers and restarting X for the Nth time. :-) Eventually just stuck with nv or nouveau or whatever it was. I loved drawing with particles all over the desktop, but little tweaks here and there started to make the whole thing really complex.
