You basically hit the nail on the head. I had searched for such
discussions and found some but you suggesting people's names really
helped. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I found many discussions about metacity and compiz but
the one message that probably referred to the most relevant discussion
was a dead end:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2006-January/011967.html

Maybe someone can point me into the right direction based on this
message.

I've literally searched for days and I've read hundreds of messages on
lots of different mailinglists on freedesktop.org but now I'm finally
stuck.

 BH> If I completely missed the nail, just ignore this mail.

Not at all. I just dropped the subject for a while in the hope to maybe
get some answers to my other questions
(http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/compiz/2006-May/000184.html) from
David or someone else. 

Thanks again, Bjørn, you've spared me a few days of heavy-duty
googling. :-)
