I just installed the package.  The only thing I noticed that changed
was the very cool task bar.  I also noticed that all the windows I had
open before the change had a straight line on the top left corner as
if the rounding was having an error.  New windows I opened after the
change didn't have this.

After I installed the changes I noticed I *do not* have "follow the
mouse" behavior anymore.  It seems to be traditional windows behavior.
 Did someone change something?

I agree that native/host widgets are not needed.  And I'm afraid it's
going to be a speed hit in the common/semi-common case.
