I'm trying to install the 'metacity-2.4.55-6' or 'metacity-2.5.3-3' rpms on Red Hat 8.0 but they both have several dependancies:
error: Failed dependencies: libXrandr.so.2 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 libstartup-notification-1.so.0 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6 redhat-artwork >= 0.62 is needed by metacity-2.4.55-6
Of coarse, when I try to install those packages, they in turn have dependencies and so on... could anyone please tell me what i'm doing wrong or if there is a different approach I should be taking?
Any help would be greatly apprectaited.
Thanks,
Aaron

Hi,
Current rawhide in fact has wireframe resize (the setting is called reduced_resources, set it to TRUE).
I have done this (via gconf-editor), but it has no effect (even restarting metacity yielded nothing).
It's metacity-2.5.3-2 BTW.
Any ideas?
It looks like Alex lost the patch when upgrading from 2.4 to 2.5, he probably assumed that it was already in 2.5 upstream but it isn't.
I'll have to put the patch back.
"oops"
WORKSFORME now with metacity-2.5.3-3, kudos guys.
