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 decorations

       --version
              Print the version number.

       -?, --help
