You can view and change information about Metacity controls and settings using the gconf-editor
window (type gconf-editor from a Terminal window). As the window says, it is not the recommended

preferences. However, gconf-editor is a good way to see descriptions of each Metacity feature.
From the gconf-editor window, select apps???metacity, and then choose from general, global_
keybindings, keybindings_commands, window_keybindings, and workspace_names. Click each
key to see its value, along with short and long descriptions of the key.
