OROBORUS(1) General Commands Manual OROBORUS(1)NAME
oroborus - lightweight themeable window manager for X.

Oroborus is a small and simple window manager which does exactly what it says it does, manage windows. There is no fancy doc, clip, wharf,

session management, or can be run as a stand-alone window manager.

METACITY - minimal GTK2 Window Manager
SYNOPSIS
metacity [--display=DISPLAY] [--replace] [--sm-client-id=ID] [--sm-disable] [--sm-save-file=FILENAME] [--version] [--help]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly metacity.
metacity is a minimal X window manager aimed at nontechnical users and is designed to integrate well with the GNOME desktop. metacity
lacks some features that may be expected by traditional UNIX or other technical users; these users may want to investigate other available
window managers for use with GNOME or standalone.
OPTIONS --display=DISPLAY
Connect to X display DISPLAY.
--replace
a window manager which is running is replaced by metacity. Users are encouraged to change the GNOME window manager by running the
new WM with the --replace or -replace option, and subsequently saving the session.
--sm-client-id=ID
Specify a session management ID.
--sm-disable
Disable the session management.
--sm-save-file=FILENAME
Load a session from FILENAME.
--version
Print the version number.
-?, --help
Show summary of options.
CONFIGURATION
metacity configuration can be found under Preferences->Windows and Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts on the menu-panel. Advanced configura-
tion can be achieved directly through gconf editing (gconf-editor or gconftool-2).

Hi,
I have CentOS release 5. I am using "Putty" as my SSH program. I can't seem to get the DISPLAY xclock working on my screen. I did set my DISPLAY.

Error: Can't open display: 10.65.104.76:0.0
Please advice. (2 Replies)
Well, my old laptop flopped over and died, so I reinstalled Linux on a new one. I decided to try Gnome, since it'd been a long time since I tried any kind of large-scale window manager.
