Can't you enable the compositing features in metacity in CLI with

gconftool-2 -s '/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager' --type bool
true

and

Section "Extensions"
 Option "Composite"
EndSection

in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as documented on the AiglxOnFedora Wiki
page?

What are the plans for the future: enable the compositing features of
metacity or replace metacity with compiz? BTW, what will happen when
both compiz and metacity with composite features enabled are installed
on a system?

Cheers,
