I found no way to integrate Enlightenment as nice as in RH 6.2 and
7.x anymore. Metacity sucks hard, agreed. I know the blues. Voiced it
here before IIRC. :-)
Especially that you can't just drag windows to adjacent workspaces.
You can... in the pager, if you really want to drag, or with the window
menu ("Move to Workspace Right/Left or Move to Workspace X").
Or switch workplaces just be hitting the screen edge with the mouse.
True.
Or force window stacking ("always on top") for certain
windows.
Yes, you can. I'm running metacity-2.8.0-1 and there's an "On Top"
option in the window menu.
*sigh*
Metacity might not be everything to everyone, but it's lightweight, has
a lot of reasonable features, and is easy to use. But Linux *is* all
about choice... of applications. Not necessarily cramming every choice
into every application. Use a different WM.
