For the record I find that the workaround in comment #4, which disables
compositing, can have the side effect of messing up the background of the
launcher. See bug #960366. At the moment this is the only side effect that I
have noticed.
Interestingly the problem described in comment #9 (bug #8

@Charlie, just in case you missed it, the workaround in comment #4 fixes
the problem for me and does not seem to have any significant side

@Colin: do you mind trying with xfwm4 instead of metacity. It has a

@Michael could you clarify what that approach is? There is quite a lot

@Colin it's basically the same issue, max texture size being smaller
than your desktop width. The bug linked above describes the approach
taken in u3d, which probably needs to apply in u2d, too.

@Michal: The reason it goes apparently dead on 3D is that 3D will not

Compositing gives us a few useful features:
