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

	      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

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

       --sm-disable
