That's not how it works. This bug will cause loss of work and data to a large part of the userbase, which may have no clue that this can happen, why it happens or how to work around it. At the same time, those who think it is really important to have bling will find and turn this feature on. I've never understood why a vocal minority that will enable this manually anyways thinks it's so important that everyone else must have their pet feature forced on them by default?

I'm all for composite being the default once it is stable and polished (not worse than metacity, which it is in many cases right now even though it is better in other parts).

Doesn't really matter if this is a closed source issue, people will lose work and data if this goes out by default as it is now. Is that worth it so some other people can have a fireworks show? Really?
