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

CONFIGURATION
metacity configuration can be found under Preferences->Windows and Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts on the menu-panel. Advanced configuration can be achieved directly through gconf editing (gconf-editor or gconftool-2).
The original manual page was written by Thom May <thom@debian.org>. It was updated by Akira TAGOH <tagoh@debian.org>
for the Debian GNU/Linux system (with permission to use by others), and then updated by Luke Morton and Philip O'Brien
for inclusion in metacity.
