This document is not useful (other than as a historical artifact). In fact, using it could be considered harmful, since the desktop-specific hints have been deprecated and obsoleted by the EWMH, the latter being available at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/wm-spec. I don't think Metacity even supports the old hints anymore. > The HTML seems to have been generated from DocBook: > http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/web-devel-2/trunk/content/doc/standards/wm/ > Does someone know where that DocBook source is? > > There is this document too, though it doesn't seem to be linked from > anywhere: > http://developer.gnome.org/doc/standards/extwmhints/book1.html That looks like an early draft of the EWMH. > We would like to move useful developer.gnome.org documents to > library.gnome.org so they can be maintained properly, but they need to > be DocBook.
