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
              Show summary of options.
