I agree that ideally there needs to be a desktop cooperation regarding
the CM.  By the end of Jan. 06, I plan to release gscope v0.1 which is a
magnification composite manager (mcm) modeled after Keith Packard's
"diopter" found on freedesktop.org.  If Metacity has elegant hooks, then
I'm willing to consider reworking gscope to simplify.  I'm currently
struggling with the need for an OutputOnly window; however, I'm
experimenting with Keith's ShapeInput that he uses in diopter.
