I have, and I will continue to help resolve them.  I still 
need a plan B, though.

I tried a few, and after spending a few minutes with each... 
here's the results:

MCOMPOSITOR
===========

See BMC#17170, BMC#17446.

MATCHBOX
========

(+) meego-ux-daemon seems snappier when scrolling
(+) Xlib-style menus and dialogs work (mostly)
(+) All main application windows get maximized
(+) Apps work as expected
(~) Windows have frames and borders
(-) Some random white box keeps appearing near (0,0)
(-) meego-ux-daemon background doesn't show up,
    which affects screen saver and task switcher.

XFWM4
=====

(+) Xlib-style menus and dialog work
(+) Apps work as expected
(~) Windows have frames and borders
(-) Windows are /not/ maximized
(-) meego-ux-daemon background doesn't show up,
    which affects screen saver.
(-) slow startup
(-) doesn't work with meego-ux-daemon task switcher

MUTTER
======

DOA.  Something about it keeps crashing meego-ux-daemon at 
startup.

CONCLUSION: Matchbox is my plan B.
