Well do you?

This was an environment that in beta gave you the ability to curl the corner of your windows so you could see what was on the desktop beneath. You could also rotate windows and stack them into the desktop.

I remember reading quite a bit about it a couple of years ago (if not longer!) and having a play with it as it came out with a version of Mandriva.

Has the project died?

Did Compiz win?

Just curious!:P

My mistake it should have been "Metisse"

Here's a link with some screen shots and video's:

Googling just seems to pull up a load of info relating to Mandriva 2007, so I'm guessing the project has died!

You may want to take a look at this post: Metisse WM: Success! (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1490960&highlight=metisse)
I got Metisse to run on a Dell d505 running Ubuntu 10.04LTS.
Cheers!
