To get this into Precise would be hard, as it's already been released and would require and SRU. Also, I don't think that it would get into Precise since it's a new version of metacity.
** Description changed: Metacity window manager in Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 (Precise) is outdated and still uses gconf, while latest 2 upstream versions (2.34.2 and 2.34.3) already are converted to gsettings.
