Most (if not all) people interested in new shiny stuff will install
beryl cause metacity only has basic compositing features. I migrated my
work machine to 7.2-RC2 and haven't rebuild a single X-dependent port on
purpose. I don't know about KDE but only metacity needs to be rebuilt to
have compositing features in GNOME.

Anyway, as I said it'll be in the tree before Christmas, but I'm not
sure what's your point.

Cheers.
