This is exactly something I was thinking of a couple hours ago. Maybe compiz should be able to work EVEN WITHOUT the composite extension so that it may act just like the "boring window manager for the adult in you". Still with all the effort put in compiz and everything else ( AIGLX, X11 in general... ) the result is that you may now get to install some random Linux distribution and have a "good chance" to see those thingies work "out of the box", with the usual xorg.conf hacking. And you *might* even not miss what you used to do with metacity. I used to have 12 workspaces and left-hand-only keybindings to select them, which is the thing I'm missing *right now* as well as some wnck-applet integration - compiz's GNOME integration in general sucks *right now* - and random stuff. My opinion is that compiz is "a perfectly working toy in my box", which means that becoming "some window manager that should work basically fine" might take some time, but if we get to a point where one sees that he just doesn't notice the difference in configuring metacity or compiz PLUS all the shinycrazybubblegum and yummygummycube effects ( that one might even ( want to ) get rid of ), well, I guess that stabilising everything will be just a matter of time! Oh, thanks everyone for the replies on metacity, I wasn't really sure of what was going on :) Ciao ~marco
