The Ubuntu team has released the first beta of Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy Eft. It includes GNOME 2.16, OpenOffice.org 2.0.4 RC2, Xorg 7.1, Linux kernel 2.6.17, and a new init system. Download locations are listed in the release announcement. Update: Kubuntu 6.10 beta 1 has been released as well. Other than that, Ubuntu is taking over the BBC. And all they show is underwear. I don't get it.

You only need to recompile metacity, not gnome. Take a look at this:

I think you're right, as far as I understand how AIGLX works. Unfortunately, GNOME 2.16 does not come with compositing enabled by default. This is because it does not work well with non-accelerated hardware. We'll probably need to wait until GNOME 2.18 for this. You can enable compositing in GNOME by recompiling with the compositing build flag (I forget the exact switch, sorry). Until then, you'll need to install Compiz or Beryl.
