I really do not want Mutter to have Metacity dependency; we need a
solution that can work for distribution, not just for developers
testing. Having a separate gnome-wm-data package is lot better solution
-- can we not make it in a way that people need to either have the
gnome-wm-data OR Metacity installed ?
