I have yet to witness any "tearing" of the fish in X, just the overall reduction in quality.

The tearing is only a side effect of the screen capture tools in OSX. You don't ever actually see that. And what looks like jagged lines in the screen captures looks more like an animated pixelated pattern moving across the stripes of the fish... not even that noticable until you see them without it.

I just hope that the Jims don't 'fix' MarineAquarium at the same time as Apple 'fixes' OpenGL with Panther effectively 'breaking' it again and forcing us to look at the Jaggies for another year! I really really really miss the perfect looking fish I used to know.
