When I turn on the compositing manager using the gconf-editor my desktop 
goes completely ballistic. The moment click the checkbox metacity restarts 
itself over and over again and the only way to get things back to normal is 
to switch to a text console, wait a few seconds for metacity to give up and 
then switch back to X11, uncheck the compositing_manager key again. After 
that I'm left without window decorations which can be fixed by restarting 
metacity manually again. The xcompmgr I compiled from CVS works fine though.
