Call me crazy, but this just seems like WAY too many "bugs" for compiz to
be the default window manager (on supported hardware that is) in a LTS
release of Ubuntu. I might be off my rocker for thinking that, but oh
well.

With GNOME 2.22 there is an awesome compositing feature now compiled into
Metacity by default, and the results are similar to Ubuntu's compiz
implementation of "Standard Effects" - sure, the windows don't wobble, but
that's annoying after a while anyway (to many anyway, still - it's
personal preference).

PLUS, Metacity compositing runs on a lot more hardware than Compiz does -
it will run on Nvidia w/ just the "nv" driver enabled - it doesn't require
H/W acceloration at all.

Am I the only one thinking this way?!?!\
