NAME
       METACITY	- minimal GTK3 Window Manager

SYNOPSIS
       metacity	[--display=DISPLAY] [--replace]	[--sm-client-id=ID] [--sm-dis-

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 techni-
       cal  users;  these users	may want to investigate	other available	window
       managers	for use	with GNOME or standalone.

       --display=DISPLAY

       --replace
	      a	window manager which  is  running  is  replaced	 by  metacity.
	      Users  are encouraged to change the GNOME	window manager by run-
	      ning the new WM with the --replace or -replace option, and  sub-
	      sequently	saving the session.

       --sm-client-id=ID
	      Specify a	session	management ID.

       --sm-disable
	      Disable the session management.

       --sm-save-file=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
	      decorations

       --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 configura-
       tion can	be achieved directly through gsettings.
