useful to get more information than just warnings. You can set
METACITY_VERBOSE to do that, like so:
METACITY_VERBOSE=1 METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 metacity --replace
(note that METACITY_VERBOSE=1 cannot be used without
METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1 or metacity will crash). There are also
other flags, such as METACITY_DEBUG, most of which I haven't tried
and don't know what they do. Go to the source code directory and
run
(note that METACITY_VERBOSE=1 can be problematic without
METACITY_USE_LOGFILE=1; avoid it unless running in from something that
