how to turn on compositing in metacity (using Debian testing) ?

[shirish शिरीष <shirishag75@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
How do I turn on compositing in Metacity in GNOME 3?

I am in GNOME Classic or GNOME-Fallback using GNOME testing.

This is my integrated graphics card :-

$ lspci | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express
Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10)

I am using metacity as my window manager as can be seen via :-

$ ps aux | grep metacity
shirish   3543  0.0  0.6 476668 13556 ?        Sl   09:36   0:00
/usr/bin/metacity
shirish   5517  0.0  0.0   8056   912 pts/0    S+   09:52   0:00 grep
--color=auto metacity

This also confirms it :-

$ pstree -s 3575
init───gdm3───gdm-simple-slav───gdm-session-wor───gnome-session───metacity───{metacity}

Is there a GUI way to enable compositing in GNOME classic or the only
way is via

dconf write /org/gnome/metacity/compositing-manager true
gsettings set org.gnome.metacity compositing-manager true

As shared in http://glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Recurrents%20problems&lang=en#2-Composite


Both of them are true :-

$dconf read /org/gnome/metacity/compositing-manager
true

$gsettings get org.gnome.metacity compositing-manager
true

I tried using gnome-control-center --overview but it doesn't show
Window manager and its effects :(

Using gnome-control-center 1:3.4.3.1-5+b3 .

I do not know if compiz fusion is installed and working or not ?

Looking forward to pointers regarding enabling compositing in gnome 3.
