Is Apple being a liar as regards the brushed metal window contraption?

Says here that the metal brushed attribute is available to a  
MovableModal class, but it won't work (-5601 error), even if made  
Compositing attribute as it says to...what's strange is that the  
Appearance example of the document class works, without being  
compositing it would seem.

> kWindowMetalAttribute	The window has a metallic appearance (Mac OS X,  
> version 10.2 and later). Available only for document and movable modal  
> window classes. If you specify this attribute, you must also specify  
> the kWindowCompositingAttribute.
