Hi Owen,

Thanks for explanation. I am sure even if there are cases where 3d
acceleration is not available, one could still use metacity as
alternative.

VMWare support is still not available according to this post in their forum:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1390758. Their release note
mentions 3d support for win guests only.  A quick try in virtualbox
didn't work for me either (I don't know if it works officially). I
hope the compatibility to GNOME 2 window-manager/panel that you
mentioned is maintained long enough for wms to catch up.

Thanks.
