DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly metacity.
metacity is a minimal X window manager aimed at nontechnical users and
is designed to integrate well with the GNOME desktop. metacity lacks
some features that may be expected by traditional UNIX or other
technical users; these users may want to investigate other available
window managers for use with GNOME or standalone.
OPTIONS
--display=DISPLAY

--replace

Users are encouraged to change the GNOME window manager by
running the new WM with the --replace or -replace option, and
subsequently saving the session.
--sm-client-id=ID
Specify a session management ID.
--sm-disable
Disable the session management.
--sm-save-file=FILENAME
Load a session from FILENAME.

CONFIGURATION

Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts on the menu-panel. Advanced
configuration can be achieved directly through gconf editing (gconf-
editor or gconftool-2).
