For your information, this was ironic. There is no compositing manager
in metacity as no one seemed interested enough in developing it.

Exactly my point, thanks.

Another unfounded assumption: that you need to configure your shortcuts
to be more productive.
A good application should come up with good shortcuts already
configured. Plus, they should be similar across applications. This is so
that you don't get lost in front of another account or a new
application.

I'm not aware of such a move. Currently gnome-main-menu is not part of
the proposed modules for 2.20. This could still change, of course, but
last time it was proposed there was a strong opposition among
developers.

The GTK+ development used to be close to that of GIMP, but now it is
sticking to the GNOME releases and is mostly done by GNOME developers.
GIMP has still its own team, working with its insane development process
with one release each time hell freezes.
