Metisse is layered ontop of the root window much like Xgl is an x server layered ontop of an X server. By design, this is a *BAD* idea. I went through the hoops and compiled a copy of metisse on my Ubuntu box.
Not too bad and it has some nifty features, but it seems slow. The idea is cool, but (in my own personal opinion) this isn't all that impressive as it doesn't use things like composite which fundamentally limit it.
