The cow patch is still defaulting to using the root window so it should
work fine on openSUSE 10.1, SLED10. Even if we change so the overlay
window is used by default, there's still going to be a fall-back for
cases where this doesn't work. I don't think the code in libmetacity
really requires gtk 2.10, I just copied the pkgconfig requirement line
from metacity so that's why it's 2.10 right now. Try changing it to 2.8
and see if it works. Now that you mention it, I realize that I added
something that might be gtk 2.10 specific (a call to
gdk_screen_get_rgba_colormap) to gwd, I can easily workaround that
though.

So the answer to your question is; Yes, I'll make sure it's compatible
in the near future?
