I found another nice feature that is missing from metacity, but
available in mutter. Mutter supports draggable invisible borders
around windows, which makes it easier to resize them. It's especially
useful for themes, which has 1px borders, e.g. Adwaita. You can see
the
relevant bugzilla task for mutter here:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644930

It is not simple task...

1. Adding invisible borders will make non-composite mode look even worse. Turn off compositing and look how nautilus looks. With invisible borders all windows will have black ugly borders.

Maybe we should drop option to turn off compositing-manager? With disabled composing manager there is no way to see background image with desktop-icons enabled, csd windows have black borders.

2. libmetacity-private library will grove in its size, but this probably is not problem.
