so this means that work on it will stop? or will it return in gnome 2.18?
fedora already has the required X server + libs so why can't it be left 
enabled in FC6 (disabled in gconf) ? if someone wants to use it  he/she 
can enable it  but know we have to recompile metacity (and this can't be 
done in extras because it would replace a core package)
