Yes, because that branch still need many fixes...

Currently it just adds _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS and fixes resize rectangle size
for resize and move plugins. Default mode must be changed to outline or
rectangle to test that.

What app? For example I can not tile nautilus window, but it works fine
with gedit (with metacity). That could be reason why style class is
missing. Simply window is not really tiled, it is just resized. Gedit has
tile class with both window managers - compiz & metacity.

I build compiz locally with a fix that works for my use case, and that's

It is not compiz job...
