Is it possible (as in: would it work) to use metacity with a KDE desktop, or is this fun only for a gnome desktop at this point?
metacity is just a window manager. There's almost no reason you can't use it in place of kwin.
I renamed /usr/bin/kwin to /usr/bin/kwin-real, and then made a symlink between metacity and kwin. Everything seems to be running fine calling metacity in this roundabout way.
Could someone tell me the correct way to tell KDE to use metacity instead of kwin so I can undo this kludge method, though. Thanks!
