I see you already enabled compositing in master (which looks good to
me). Don't know anything about the other patches.

There are two patches in Debian:

- 01_focus_new_window.patch — https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=534752
- 03_gtop_error.patch — https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603240

I think both can be applied in master.

There are 13 other patches in Ubuntu (that are not already applied upstream).

Here are ones that look suitable for upstream:

- 04_support_drag_drop_with_alt_tab.patch —
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135056
- 10_no-ws-switcher.patch — https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=609513
- 13_better_support_for_button_layout.patch —
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608511
- 14_wrong_colormap.patch (not forwarded)
- 22_fix_above_tab_switching.patch —
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692437
- 100_fade_on_long_title.patch —
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=642108

Other 7 patches look Ubuntu-specific. Some of them were needed for
Unity 2D, so can probably be dropped now.
