We use L-screws -- but I wouldn't necessarily trust them in drywall without
using a plastic anchor (wouldn't trust nails in drywall, either).  Our walls
have plywood behind the drywall, so screws are easy for us.  One advantage
over nails is that you don't have to wield a hammer close to the edge of the
artwork's plex or glass.  You can turn the L down slowly until it is in just
the right position...
