Can someone please comment on the usage of metacity --sm-disable

I can see that the swtbot testcases fails with widgetnotfound
exception if metacity (windows manager) is not started but I am
curious that this the reason for the problem. Is there anyother
Windows manager we can use for swtbot? If so can you please provide an
example for the usage?
The Window Manager is necessary to get SWTBot working, especially when
it comes to menus. If you don't have it, some widgets that are generally
delegated to the Window Manger simply won't be accessible.
You can use any Window Manager you know it's working. Some example
include unity (Ubuntu only), twm, fvwm... But metacity or unity are by
far the most usual window managers, so that's why it's recommanded to
use one of them. Metacity is available on almost all Linux distributions.
