DESCRIPTION

14       This manual page documents briefly metacity.
15
16       metacity  is a minimal X window manager aimed at nontechnical users and
17       is designed to integrate well with the GNOME desktop.   metacity  lacks
18       some features that may be expected by traditional UNIX or other techni‐
19       cal users; these users may want to investigate other  available  window
20       managers for use with GNOME or standalone.
