Minimal Building/Testing Environment
You do not need to _install_ a development version of Metacity to
build, run and test it; you can run it from some temporary
directory. Also, you do not need to build all of Gnome in order to
build a development version of Metacity -- odds are, you can build
metacity from CVS without building any other modules.
As long as you have gtk+ >= 2.6 with your distro, you should be able
to install your distro's development packages (e.g. gtk2-devel,
GConf2-devel, and startup-notification-devel on Fedora) and be ready
to build and test Metacity. Steps to do so:
$ cvs -q -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome \
checkout metacity
$ cd metacity
$ ./autogen.sh --prefix /usr
$ make
$ ./src/metacity --replace
Again, note that you do not need to run 'make install'.
