COMPILING METACITY
|

===
|

|
||||
You need GTK+ 1.3.x (to become 2.0), at least version 1.3.13. At the
|
||||
moment CVS HEAD works, but that can change.
|
||||
|
||||
There are SRPMs and sometimes RPMs on the ftp site, but you'd be
|
||||
pretty lucky to get them to work for now, since they are often out of
|
||||
sync with GTK. You might try with the GTK from ftp.gtk.org, and also
|
||||
the GTK from http://people.redhat.com/hp/gnomehide/.
|
||||
You need GTK+ 2.0, ideally the latest in the 2.0.x series.

- Metacity creates a big file in your home directory called

~/metacity.log with a bunch of debug spew.

- If you want keybindings which are not the ones mentioned above
|

as features, you have to edit keybindings.c and recompile.

crackrock. This is just because I like those keybindings and
|
||||
things aren't configurable yet. Once bindings are configurable
|
||||
the dumb defaults will go away.
|
||||
|
||||
- The only way to unminimize at the moment is to use the Alt+Tab
|
||||
move-between-windows feature, or to run the GNOME 2 panel
|
||||
and tasklist.
|
||||
|
||||
- Metacity uses the new window manager spec, but only random bits of
|
||||
the old GNOME spec. It correctly advertises exactly which parts of
|
||||
the GNOME spec it supports, but it does not support enough of it to
|
||||
make the GNOME task list and desk guide happy, and they do not
|
||||
support the new spec. I don't want anyone to spend time sending me
|
||||
patches to support the old GNOME spec in Metacity; instead, send
|
||||
patches to the task list and desk guide to support the new spec. As
|
||||
far as I know, Metacity does support enough of the new spec to
|
||||
allow a working tasklist and pager.
|
||||
|
||||
Upshot: GNOME 1.x task list and desk guide DO NOT WORK with
|
||||
Metacity.
|
||||
- You need an EWMH-spec compliant pager/tasklist to be able
|
||||
to navigate graphically; this does NOT include GNOME 1.x,
|
||||
but should include GNOME 2 and KDE 3.
|
||||
|
||||
- Metacity turns off its keybindings for Emacs, because I use
|
||||
Alt-space in Emacs, and getting a window menu annoys me.
|
||||
This is a broken feature. My planned fix is to use super/hyper
|
||||
instead of Alt as the main keybinding shortcut, if super/hyper
|
||||
exist, and then keyboards with a windows key can use that for
|
||||
WM functions and Alt for application shortcuts.
|
||||
We'd fall back to Alt if no other suitable modifier existed.
|
||||
This is a broken feature that will go away when keybindings are

configurable.

Q: Will Metacity be part of GNOME?

A: This is not the current plan, though of course I'm happy to see the

code used by anyone who's interested. Metacity may continue to suck
|
||||
forever because I might get tired of working on it; or Metacity's

feature set might not make sense for GNOME. Who knows.

A: Many people are now asking for this, though it was not the original

plan - Metacity started out as sort of an experiment.

For now Metacity is my toy hobby project that I work on when I feel

|
||||
think it makes any sense to have both; it's just confusing. They
|
||||
are functionally equivalent.
|
||||
|
||||
You may think this means that you won't have certain keybindings,
|
||||
or something like that. This is a misconception. The only
|
||||
_fundamental_ difference between viewports and workspaces is that
|
||||
with viewports, windows can "overlap" and appear partially on
|
||||
one and partially on another. All other differences that
|
||||
traditionally exist in other window managers are accidental -
|
||||
the features commonly associated with viewports can be implemented
|
||||
for workspaces, and vice versa.
|
||||
|
||||
So I don't want to have two kinds of
|
||||
workspace/desktop/viewport/whatever, but I'm willing to add
|
||||
features traditionally associated with either kind if those
|
||||
features make sense.

Q: Did you spend a lot of time on this?
