For these two bugs, would it be a good idea to make metacity recommend
or depend on x-session-manager?

We could also update the description of the package to be more in line
with that of xfwm4?

         This package contains xfwm4 which is the window manager for Xfce4.  It is
         designed to run with the rest of Xfce4 but makes a capable window manager
         for GNOME or KDE.
         .
         Install xfwm4 if you want a small, resource saving window manager which
         complies to the standards defined at http://www.freedesktop.org/. Without
         xfce4 installed this only gives you a window manager not the full
         environment.

Also, in bug 397645 Bill Allombert recommends removing the menu file, is
that okay?
