Hmmm... this looks like it may have potential!

Basically, a Wayland compositor with all sorts of fun effects and
plugins, and clearly a shared heritage with Compiz. I've seen other
window managers attempt to incorporate stuff akin to Compiz, but it was
always crudely done and a clear afterthought, whereas this seems to be
angling to be Compiz but re-imagined for Wayland. While I'm hesitant to
embrace Wayland just yet -- I *REALLY REALLY LIKE* network transparency,
and don't believe Wayland cares about it at all -- it looks like Wayfire
just might be the thing to push me over the edge.
