Thomas: according to the wm-spec and the ICCCM, a composition manager
must take ownership of the _NEW_WM_CM_Sx selection, and relinquish it on
request to another composition manager.  Here are the relevant links:

  * http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-1.4.html#id2552725

  * http://tronche.com/gui/x/icccm/sec-2.html#s-2.8

AFAIK xcompmgr (which is the source of the metacity compositor, AFAIU)
never implemented that spec.
