Comment 3 for bug 1436553

Updates as of 7-1-2015:

The latest Uubntu update from 6.27 fixes Metacity theme support but NOT transparency. The "add-gtk-frame-extents-to-net-supported" is based on 0.9.12.0, not 0.9.12.1 and it seems the later version stripped out the underlying code that permitted the simple published patch to work. I have not been able to revert that but found another fix: build the older version with the patch-and with the "gtk" directory from the current Ubuntu source substituted. Make sure to enable gsettings in your configuration or it won't read the theme, and to set /usr and not /usr/local as the installation directory or compiz will hang up on loading the plugins. Build, install, and enjoy!
