I took a quick look at Composite. It looks like it was designed to  
work inside a window manager. I'm not sure that makes sense in our  
environment. We could make quartz-wm also in charge of the Mac windows  
via Composite, but that might leave other window managers out in the  
cold. One alternative might be to use the Composite code paths in the  
server, without using the Composite extension directly.
