Incidentally metacity is due for a bump in the theme version to add new and exciting capabilities built on Cairo and Gtk 2.8 after the branch. Talented and visionary eye-candy folks are being solicited. Maybe metacity needs plugable metacity theme engines.

Fully agreed. That's how we should be thinking at all times. :)

BTW, about the theme thing, I had a suggestion a few months ago:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-September/msg00172.html (which obviously need more work to smooth it out)
Failing that, there's always this one: http://www.resexcellence.com/themes/butt_osigh/mes/01-25_mes20050121_lg.jpg ;-) (joking, but it's interesting)



I remember enjoying your mockup at the time, but commenting how difficult it would be to code such a thing. However, with the advent of integrating gtk+ 2.8 with cairo, I think doing this becomes much easier, and since cairo can have hardware acceleration, it could even be fast! :-)
