I didn't know that Metacity has any own compositor.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and when I don't have Compiz enabled, it is using Metacity without compositing.
I am talking about the "minimize effect" when the compositor is not turned on.

$ gconftool -g /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager
false

It looks ugly with just a black frame around the window, then it gets smaller into the taskbar.
In Windows XP, its much nicer. It's been nicer even since Windows 95, I think.
