NAME
       METACITY - minimal GTK2 Window Manager

SYNOPSIS
       metacity   [--display=DISPLAY]   [--replace]  [--sm-client-id=ID]  [--sm-disable]  [--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 desk-
       top.   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
              Connect to X display DISPLAY.

       --replace
              a window manager which is running is replaced by metacity.  Users are encouraged to change the GNOME  window  man-
              ager 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.

       --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 configuration can be achieved directly through gconf editing (gconf-editor or gconftool-2).
