These are X extensions which are present in Apple's X11 on Leopard but 
not on earlier OS X versions. It might be possible to create ports for 
them, but that has not been done at present. Metacity should 
theoretically be able to work without them, but nobody has yet been able 
to figure out a way to make it build in their absence.
