Description Mardy 2011-08-25 08:43:59 UTC 
Hi,
  here's a couple of patches which introduce a "--conf-file <conf-file>" command-line option to specify the path of a .ini file (GKeyFile) whose contents will override the settings currently stored in GConf.

Please have a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/791205 for a full description of the issue. Briefly, this is needed to let metacity run with different volatile settings (for instance when running Unity-2d vs Unity), without modifying the existing GConf configuration.
