In the last edition of Linux.Ars, I wrote a review of GNOME 2.14 in which I criticized the Metacity window manager and expressed dissatisfaction with its lack of functionality. In response to my arguments, I received e-mail from several readers with comments about window management. While some are frustrated with the lack of functionality, others approve of Metacity's minimalist philosophy. Since there seems to be a great deal of interest in the subject, I decided to discuss it in more depth in this edition of Linux.Ars. For the sake of balance and fairness, I invited the advocates of Metacity minimalism to write short segments for Linux.Ars explaining why they like Metacity. Unfortunately, none of the Metacity advocates were able to contribute this week. I am now opening this invitation to all readers, not just the ones that e-mailed me with comments. If you wish to write a short segment explaining why you use your window manager of choice, we may publish it in the next edition. Please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. Of course, if you aren't interested in writing for Linux.Ars, I still encourage you to share your views in the Ars Technica Linux IRC channel and in the discussion thread.
