Well, that piqued my curiosity, so I tried the same and built 1.5.2 with
the composite extension, rebuilt metacity-2.22 with compositing support,
then built and installed avant-window-navigator.  It basically works,
but with a number of caveats:

1) Compositing does not work in multiwindow mode, but the extension
still shows as available.  Sounds obvious, but since window
transparency, etc. is possible on Win2K+, perhaps someday this could be
figured out.

2) The root window turns a silver color, even in rootless mode, and
cannot be changed through xsetroot.

3) The content of OpenGL windows (e.g. glxgears) is completely
transparent.  This reminds me of what used to happen with the old
experimental XWin_GL server, except then they were all black.

Still, it's interesting and shouldn't impede normal usage, so I think
I'll include it in 1.5.2 as an experiment.
