Compiz has spectacular bling but lacks certain basic window manager features (like toggleable vertical and horizontal maximize) that I had in sawfish, lost in metacity for a while but just got back in fc5, and now will lose again in compiz. Metacity has good bling and solid window manager functions (and a killer close window animation.) So if I have to rebuild metacity myself, how do I re-enable compositing? I looked at the spec and I can't see where it explicitly disables it and the configure script seems to assume that it's on (only --disable-composite seems to be valid.)
