[Cooker] ANNOUNCE: Christmas gift for GNOME / Metacity users

[Frederic Crozat]

Hi folks,

just a small announce for the arrival of new compositor code in Metacity
package (2.21.3-2mdv) which has been merged last night in metacity SVN
trunk (ie it will be available in next release of metacity).

I've pushed the code in our package and I've enabled compositor by
default. 

What does it bring to you, metacity users :
-Composited managed desktop (some applications might use it, like
transparent applications such as gnome-terminal and probably others)
-brand new alt-TAB with screenshot of applications and highlight of
to-be-focused app
-nice shadow around windows (now, you can have an idea on the initial
design of Ia Ora window theme :)
-NO openGL required !!

Please report any bug you find (better to submit them directly to
bugzilla.gnome.org, state you are using the new compositor code and cc
my email in the bug).

If you want to disable compositor, just run :

gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager
false

to enable it back :
gconftool-2 --unset /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager

Merry Christmas

oh, BTW, I'll be in holidays starting tonight until December 26. Let's
hope it won't break cooker too much :)
