Does that mean your're main efforts will be for Arch then? Or will you supply both (Arch and Ubuntu) in the future?
I'm planning to set up a Mint (maybe LXDE) with kxstudio.

Hi,

Are you sure you want metacity for LXDE? It (metacity) works but it's kind of kludgy and eats up a lot of the gains in performance that Openbox gives. It took me a long time to appreciate Openbox and it is not an easy WM to customize since it doesn't use pixmaps however it does work very well and is full-featured and light. I have managed a few custom themes with it but it is limited in appearance.

OTOH Compiz works fairly well with LXDE with the basic plugins, In AV Linux I supply Openbox and Compiz I'm not sure what Lubuntu/Mint etc are doing though but I wasn't really very happy with metacity. Just a suggestion...
