shiny desktop, anyone?

Huh? What are you talking about? This corresponds exactly to the current situation. Go to:

  "System" > "Preferences" > "Look and Feel" > "Desktop Effects"

When you click the "Enable Desktop Effects" button, "metacity" is replaced by "compiz" and you are asked to confirm if 3D effects actually work. In case they don't and you are possibly not even able to confirm, the system automatically falls back to non-composite "metacity".
