composited menu popups, other popups (and actually it's 1 main window + a
centered dialog over the main window at any time if there is some
info/alert/error dialog). also it can in theory remove tearing by forcing
updates to sync to vblank (tho on the n800 that's not possible) as well as
reducing redraw artifacts by forcing double-buffering and delayed update etc. :)
