Query regarding "Zoom in" and "Zoom Out" on Fedora-17
Hi all.
I just came across this link http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopi...f=218&t=101612, and thankfully and surprisingly, the solution worked in Fedora-17 !!! I have two queries :: a) Is it possible to achieve this ia a non-gnome environment, using metacity window-manager? b) If yes, what package(s) is(are) required to achieve this? I will be really grateful for any pointers, as I have been looking for long to have this feature working in a non-gnome environment. Thanks and Regards, Ajay |
Any ideas, please? :)

I researched, and found that Fedora-17 uses "mutter" window manager, with "gnome-shell" running as a plugin.
Also, I read that replacing "mutter" by "metacity" will in general cause system-crashes and unstability (confirmed on my system). One thing, as per http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...indow_managers, it seems that "metacity" may be used in both the "COMPOSTING" mode, as well as "STACKING" mode. So, is there a way to run "metacity" in "COMPOSTING" mode (which might then just make it possible to replace "mutter" with "metacity")? Again, I will be thankful for any pointers. |
