metacity是不是个新东西？

龙腾九天

以前的GNOME里有吗？

我按BLFS的最新文档装的GNOME2.6.1,发现新文档里要安这个窗口管理器，
以前的文档里好象不安这个。

BTW: 安装GNOME真麻烦，我装了一天半(不算晚上)，终于成功了。

这里有一段描述. 不知道准确不.

gnome 1.4 的时候用的是 sawfish, 2.0 开始好像就是 metacity  了.

Metacity is a lightweight window manager written by Havoc Pennington from Red Hat. The first version was 2.3, which was released in 2001. It is implemented with the GTK+ 2.x toolkit, and so integrates well with the GNOME 2.x platform. In fact the intention is to remove the traditional separation between window manager and desktop, and present to the user a single desktop interface. This means that the limited configuration options available for Metacity are shown as desktop options, not as Metacity options (although there is an optional "Metacity-setup" panel which conflicts with this approach).

Instead of adding numerous features, Metacity attempts to use good defaults. The author even describes it as "boring", and it doesn't even have a logo!
