How to install MPX and Metacity

First of all, you will need the MPX xserver, then you will need to apply a patch in gtk+, and finally you will be able to download and install metacity.

Warning: this really takes some time and requires a lot of free disk space.

Compiling MPX

There are other techniques to reduce the xserver compiling time and the binary sizes. If you compile xserver with the options like "--disable-kdrive --disable-dmx --disable-xglx" and others, you'll save a lot of disk space and time, but you'll need to find out how to compile by yourself =)

Compiling GTK+

Compiling Metacity

Finally, you'll just need to download metacity!

Running everything

Have fun =)

If you have any questions, e-mail (PauloZanoni) me or ask me at IRC (it may take a few hours for me to answer on IRC, since I'm online even when sleeping).

If you have any feedback, bug reports or free beers, send me an e-mail too! I'd really like to know if someone is installing it =)
