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 techni-
       cal users; these users may want to investigate other  available  window
       managers for use with GNOME or standalone.

       --replace
              a  window  manager  which  is  running  is replaced by metacity.
              Users are encouraged to change the GNOME window manager by  run-
              ning  the new WM with the --replace or -replace option, and sub-
              sequently saving the session.
