How do I use NVidia anti-aliasing etc. by default?
Following the tip in the article doesn't seem to work, with or without quotation marks, I have XGL start with xdm/gdm, but even though the GL settings appear correctly in the env output and work when I use them to set environment once within the desktop to run programs (e.g. __GL_FSAA_MODE=2 glob2, or using export then running a program in the same xterm), it doesn't work on my Xgl desktop.

I tried sticking __GL_FSAA_MODE=2 before the xgl command in my gdm.conf, but that just makes it not start Xgl at all.

Hopefully, I'll answer my own question later.

[edit] NVidia anti-aliasing etc. by default

I ended up adding the following to /etc/env.d/03Opengl, and then doing a env-update.

__GL_LOG_MAX_ANISO=1 __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=1

This is probably the wrong place to put it and I have no idea if it'll be overwritten next update, but it does work though.

How do I disable the drop shadows on my GNOME panels?
The shadow from my top panel obscures the titlebars of maximised windows.
