Comment 7 for bug 389686

Compositing in metacity is not enabled.

P.S. Excessive cpu usage happens whenever metacity runs, regardless whether compiz also runs or not. Also, running metacity --replace crashes my X session.

P.S.S. I checked the compiz wrapper script, which creates the command line to call compiz.real. Apparently, when called with no arguments and metacity running it produces a command which already contains the --replace argument. When I run compiz --replace, it simply add the additional argument to the end of the command line - repeating the argument --replace twice. The argument doesn't do its job either way.
