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

       --replace
