Hm, I wonder if any of these concepts will make it into OS X seeing as they're both *nix based and all, theoretically possible i guess...
Someone's bound to port it to OS X, but whether parts of it end up in the Apple codebase is a completely different story.
By the way, I see that you're a Demi-Goddess now. Or maybe you have been for ages and I just didn't pay attention

Well, the Desktop sticky did a turn-around to reveal stuff on the other side, much like Looking Glass windows turn around to reveal a notepad....
this is basically a fancy front end to x11, so yes, it could be ported to darwin, but just because something runs on unix platforms doesn't mean you can automatically incorporate into osx. if that were the case, there would have been native ports of the gimp and openoffice (neooffice took a lot of work and is still a work in progress) by now.
