Thank you Mikkel. I think I'm going to use the clearlooks engine. Can
you tell me how to separate it from the gtk-engines package at 
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gtk-engines/
and how to make it new /.configure and proper make files. I haven't done
programming in Linux very much esp. with makefiles.

And here is the current progress with New Wave's gtkrc and
compiz-fusion :

Oh , see what I've found:

Looks like Metacity is going to dead-end.
