+1 from me as well. There's another thing which came up on IRC - the theme format has been extended in mutter, and it may be nice to port these changes to Metacity as well. It would allow the fallback environment to use the new GNOME 3 default theme without the art people having to support two versions (the theme format is ... not very nice). Porting the changes should be pretty straight-forward, though the change to version 3.2 raises another question - it adds a new frame type for attached dialogs, which is a Mutter-only feature. It is optional, so we could just #define meta_prefs_get_attach_modal_dialogs() FALSE and only port the theme change, rather than porting the feature itself.
