Yes, but due to braindead design decisions made by the compiz
developers, you're stuck with Metacity if you want to use it. They
could have implemented it as a shared library so it could be
incorporated into any window manager. But they chose not to, taking
the view that other window managers could cut and paste the relevant
parts into their own codebase. Sigh. I'm hoping someone will have the
sense to split the code out into a separate library soon, before we
end up with numerous subtly incompatible forks...
