I am pretty sure the one in Metacity now requires OpenGL acceleration.
I don't really think that is something that we can insist upon as a default
window manager.

I have a great 3d card in my desktop and I really don't need my window
manager
spinning cubes and wobbling windows.  It was fun for about 2 days, then I
had to
get real work done and all I wanted was windows redrawn smoothly and
everything
else to just work.
