Purpose: Mutter is a window and compositing manager that displays and manages your desktop via OpenGL. Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited from the Metacity window manager.
While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be used as the display core of a larger system such as gnome-shell or Moblin. For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment. Target: Desktop Release Set Dependencies: No dependencies beyond current GNOME modules and external dependencies. Note that Mutter currently depends on Metacity being installed for GConf schemas and other data files. Resource usage: tarballs: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/mutter source control: git://git.gnome.org/mutter bugzilla: http://bugzilla.gnome.org, mutter product Adoption: Mutter packages exist for most major Linux distributions as part of packaging GNOME Shell. Mutter is also key component of the Moblin 2.0 and 2.1 releases. GNOME-ness / community: Since Mutter is derived from the Metacity code base, it should interact ideally with existing GNOME components and takes advantage of many years of bug fixing and development. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
