Wow, that's really nice!

Anyone interested in testing? Both running with metacity theme and running with cairo theme. Can be changed in dconf Editor (org.compiz.gwd.use-metacity-theme). I know that from time to time using metacity theme decorator will crash and at least for now I don't know why. :(

Exactly what I suggested in my message some days ago :)

I know. I did read it. :)

I think you should always go ahead with bug fixes.

Ok! Just pushed Sebastian's patch.

What you think about idea of adding gnome-applets in gnome-panel package? At least there were such idea - https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeFlashback.
