But step back and figure out how it's configurable. Is it a metacity
setting or some kind of session-global "eye candy level" or even an X
setting.

I'd like to know why this magnifier problem is the case, though. I
certainly would foresee a future (in a few years granted) where
compositing is effectively mandatory, if only because nobody ever runs
or tests without it. We need a better plan than requiring the magnifier
to be the CM, it's not long-term viable, it's a bad setup.

It's possible the right plan is that the magnifier is just *in* the
window manager, or closely coordinated with it anyway.
