For the record:
installing task-anti-aliasing does not mean you have a anti-aliased desktop
after installing it. :)
"A metapackage containing dependencies for packages which are required or
recommended for a Anti-Aliased environment.
This package also contains example configuration files and howto's to aid
in configuration of your AA environment."

You can check "env" and look for QT_XFT...if it's =1 then AA is on.
