Log Message:
Initial import of Metacity-2.3.377, a gnome 2 window manager, into the
NetBSD Packages Collection.

Metacity is not a meta-City as in an urban center, but rather
Meta-ness as in the state of being meta.  i.e.  metacity :  meta as
opacity :  opaque.  Also it may have something to do with the Meta key
on UNIX keyboards.

 - Boring window manager for the adult in you. Many window managers
   are like Marshmallow Froot Loops; Metacity is like Cheerios.
 - Uses GTK+ 2.0 for drawing window frames. This means colors, fonts,
   etc. come from GTK+ theme.
 - Has a simple theme system and a couple of extra themes come with it.
   Change themes via gconf-editor or gconftool:
     gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/general/theme Crux
 - Change number of workspaces via gconf-editor or gconftool:
     gconftool-2 --type=int --set /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 5
   Can also change workspaces from GNOME 2 pager.
 - Change focus mode:
     gconftool-2 --type=string --set /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode mouse
