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.

              Users are encouraged to change the GNOME window manager by
