metacity (2.14.5)

Yes.
Effects seen:
- there seems to be a little less resizing during startup
- no popup with the frame size when grabbing the border to resize
- resizing doesn't "snap" to character size (so when resizing it's possibly
  to get small black borders below the minibuffer and next to the scrollbar
- starts up with a 132x60 frame (checked by comparing with a frame from
  yesterday's build); after 20 runs it still hasn't shown a different size
