Talk:Metacity

message: "Metacity (pronounced like "opacity") is the default window manager for the GNOME desktop environment."
Shouldn't this rather read 'with the trailing -city pronounced as in "opacity"'? Or has it really been stated by a developer that "meta" is intended to be read out "opa"? :)
:Hi, I found a description in the rpm package about metacity's pronouncation. It turns out that it's supposed to rhyme with "opacity", since it's about metacity, the quality of being meta, not about a meta-city, an urban centre. Swap 01:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the point of the unsigned comment above was that if "metacity" was to rhyme with "opacity", it would be pronounced "mopacity" or something. The Wednesday Island 03:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, of course, which is why I changed the entry to say that it should rhyme with opacity, more specific than "pronounced like". :-) Swap 18:42, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Metacity also rhymes with city, which has nothing to do with syllable stress. Just say "pronounced with the stress on the second syllable" or something similar.--NevarMaor 13:25, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Metacity pronunciation 

message: How can one discuss the Controversy of Metacity without addressing the screen boundary constraints? If a programmer politely asks Metacity to move a window partially offscreen (using WM messages even) Metacity will refuse. Is there another Window Manager that acts like this? Managing boundary constraints is the opposite of Cheerios -- it is a lot of extra work. To understand the issue more see: http://www.noping.net/kent/osiva, which is currently being ported to X.

thread_title:  Screen Boundary Constraints 

message: I fail to see how this qualifies as not notable. Its the window-manager of choice for some of the most popular distros (Ubuntu, Fedor, Debian). Not to mention its tight integration with GNOME itself.
:This issue has been dealt with already, too. There are multiple secondary sources used in this article. There's most notably a Newsforge and eWeek article, along with others. These articles are about GNOME, yes, because Metacity has been GNOME's default window manager for quite some time now; GNOME developers host and develop the source code. The article is not a two-sentence stub, it's got a good bit of content and there is possibility for expansion. I don't see what all the fuss is about. Samuel Grant 01:35, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed Notability Sign 

message: I can't add this myself because of WP:COI, but I thought linking to http://blogs.gnome.org/metacity/ might be useful. (I believe it doesn't fall under WP:EL point 12 because it's actually the main source of dissemination of Metacity information; there is no Metacity home page, but the maintainers regularly post information about what's happening on that site.)
