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.

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 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.

     --sync
	    Make X calls synchronous

     --composite
	    Turn compositing on

     --no-composite
	    Turn compositing off

     --no-force-fullscreen
	    Don't make fullscreen windows that are maximized and have no decora-
	    tions

     -?, --help
	    Show summary of options.

CONFIGURATION
     metacity configuration can be found under Preferences->Windows and  Prefer-
     ences->Keyboard  Shortcuts on the menu-panel. Advanced configuration can be
     achieved directly through gsettings.
