In one of my other replies on this thread I've identified a light at
the end of the tunnel.

Here's hoping someone codes up something like that for Google's
summer-of-code, or a grad student does it to get an A, or some
up-and-coming superstar does it in a weekend just to hone his skills a
bit more. :-)

Then all we'll need to do is to get the two look-alike-work-alike
applets to know enough about each other to defer to the other one
if/when compiz or metacity are running. Or something similarly
effective.
