NAME
METACITY - minimal GTK2 Window Manager
SYNOPSIS
metacity [--display=DISPLAY] [--replace] [--sm-client-id=ID] [--sm-dis-
able] [--sm-save-file=FILENAME] [--version] [--help]
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 techni-
cal users; these users may want to investigate other available window
managers for use with GNOME or standalone.
OPTIONS
--display=DISPLAY
Connect to X display DISPLAY.
--replace
a window manager which is running is replaced by metacity.
Users are encouraged to change the GNOME window manager by run-
ning the new WM with the --replace or -replace option, and sub-
sequently 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.
--version
Print the version number.
-?, --help
Show summary of options.
CONFIGURATION
metacity configuration can be found under Preferences->Windows and
Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts on the menu-panel. Advanced configura-
tion can be achieved directly through gconf editing (gconf-editor or
gconftool-2).
