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.
