Compiz code for taking over as composite manager:
        XSetSelectionOwner (dpy, cmSnAtom, newCmSnOwner, wmSnTimestamp);

        if (XGetSelectionOwner (dpy, cmSnAtom) != newCmSnOwner)
        {
            compLogMessage (d, "core", CompLogLevelError,
                            "Could not acquire compositing manager "
                            "selection on screen %d display \"%s\"",
                            i, DisplayString (dpy));

            continue;
        }

It waits for metacity to give up the WM_S0 selection before running this
bit so I'm not sure what exactly is going on but I'm pretty sure it's on
metacity's side.
