Description Artur Brodowski 2002-08-15 07:57:24 UTC

metacity-setup doesn't work after upgrading metacity from 
2.3.987-r2 to 2.4.0. it does not crash, but i couldn't change
metacity-theme or font settings, and next gnome-sessions always
sets 'default' metacity theme. 
remerging metacity-setup with latest metacity doesn't help.
for a while i'm back to 2.3.987 (maybe newest metacity-setup
would fix this, i'll try to find cvs version).

This is an upstream issue where metacity-setup looks for the themes in the 
/usr/share/metacity/themes folder, but metacity 2.4.0 has changed the location ,
    and the theme format, so now they reside in /usr/share/themes/$Name/metacity-1/

This is documented in my FAQ page for Gnome at http://gentoo.org/~spider/ along
with a short script to list all avaiable themes.

you can still change themes using gconf-editor or gconftool-2 , see the Metacity
README for more information.
