Here's a quick edit of the metacity-2.6.3 ebuild in portage.
| Code: |
# Copyright 1999-2003 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.

# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/x11-wm/metacity/metacity-2.6.3.ebuild,v 1.2 2003/11/14 04:13:57 brad_mssw Exp $
inherit gnome2 cvs debug flag-o-matic
strip-flags
unset SRC_URI
DESCRIPTION="Gnome default windowmanager"
HOMEPAGE="http://www.gnome.org/"
LICENSE="GPL-2"
SLOT="0"
KEYWORDS="~x86 ~ppc ~alpha ~sparc ~hppa amd64"

# sharp gtk dep is for a certain speed patch

DOCS="AUTHORS COPYING ChangeLog HACKING INSTALL NEWS README"
ECVS_SERVER="anoncvs.gnome.org:/cvs/gnome"
ECVS_MODULE="metacity"
ECVS_TOP_DIR="${DISTDIR}/cvs-src/${PN}"
S=${WORKDIR}/${ECVS_MODULE}
src_compile() {
epatch ${DISTDIR}/expocity-11-24-03.diff
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr || die
emake || die
}
|
Save it as /usr/local/portage/x11-wm/metacity-cvs/metacity-cvs-2.6.3.ebuild, and then run ebuild metacity-cvs-2.6.3.ebuild digest. When that's done, run emerge metacity-cvs-2.6.3.ebuild. 
edit: wrong digest command.
edit2: added inherit debug flag-o-matic and strip-flags.
edit3: no more sandbox violations (inherited gnome2)

Hi,
I tried the ebuild but I fail with digesting. I created the ebuild, then I do and get
| Code: | root@ottoka metacity-cvs # ebuild digest metacity-cvs-2.6.3.ebuild
!!! doebuild: Please specify a valid command.
|
I copied the ebuild, so no typo here. But I have never done home-brewn ebuilds, so
I might miss a setting or so. I also could not find any debugginig switch for ebuild.
What is going wrong here?
Thanks,
Zs |

| Expocity really makes task-switching more eyecandy! But the productivity....on my system its very slow. Not only when you switch between tasks, also if you just open a new window, rezise it and so on. |

This is cool!  Thanx for the correct order of commands. My other problem was not specifying
the local portage overlay in make.conf, but I did that at last.
Cheers,

I have that problem too, I guess it needs more work... very nice though |

For CVS ebuilds please remember to inherit debug flag-o-matic and strip-flags
For your own safety. |

I've tried this on two systems now (neither running Gentoo, but anywho...). On one of them, the patched Metacity works great, no performance problem, and the Expose feature works well. On the other (similar hardware), it's dog slow...
I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing it's something with the Gnome packages itself. One machine is running Ximian gnome 2 desktop (oldish release), the other is running bleeding edge, latest Gnome software. The latter is the one that works well with this version of Metacity.
Edit: The second machine (slow Expocity) is running Linux 2.6-test9, which perhaps could affect this (but somehow I doubt that). It seems more likely it's the Gnome environment. |

| Wouldn't it be cool to have something setup like this in GDM to switch greeters among desktops/xservers on a network? One greeter with all the xdisplays available to graphically click on to login to that specific box. |

It replaces the old "alt-tab" functionality ... :-/ I personally think that's a bad decision, I would much rather have seen this implemented as an entirely new function, with it's own key bindings.
So, it's "alt-tab" unless you have changed that key binding |

The (ahem) logo key is far from useless. I use it for a large assortment of shortcuts, from switching desktops to launching terminals. The former even being default keybindings in some wm's.

| Prolly a silly question but do you need to remove metacity first and then install the cvs version? |

awesome, the ebuild worked perfectly, the problem is I made my own ebuild before I found yours, heh, oh well, yours is alittle cleaner. works suprisingly fast, but no where near as fast as a new Apple, expose is part of quartz extreme which uses the opengl layer, which really speeds things up, if X had a way to do quartz extreme it would really make X a more enjoyable experience.
But I am very happy someone made this awesome patch.. |

what are you guys doing to get it going fast? Mine runs dog slow. It's nowhere near a usable replacement for alt+tab (which I've rebinded to the shortcut formerly known as alt+esc).
Slowness aside, it's pretty cool, except I have to use the keyboard AND mouse to pick windows.

Has anyone else experienced desktop switching being awfully slow using the patched metacity?
Also, this may be a dumb question, but how do I change the key-bindings so that alt+esc works like alt+tab used to?

Way too slow on my machine. I'll test it again tonight. May be I need to restart X or something.

You can't select a window with the keyboard only? Hmm ... I hope this will be added, otherwise it's quite useless for someone in programming mode. |
