To my tired eyes, both opinions apparently are based on an untenable assumption: That people who lack either the time or the inclination to delve into the arcana of Linux, RedHat, or Gnome, are either undeserving or somehow foolish or stupid. Some people work/play with computers for the love of computers. The overwhelming majority of computer users, however, use them because computers are simply the best tool for the job that has to be done. The distribution of foolishness and stupidity within that population is no different than within the population of computer-philes. All the poor guy wanted to know is where his kill app went. He got one possible answer from Donald G Wilson Jr (create a link to xkill), and a bunch of messages either excoriating him for having priorities other than learning how to swap window managers, or insulting him by lumping him with "99% of the people on this planet [who] will never be in the smart, wise, or anything like that category." (Such arrogance! Do you really believe that 99% of the people on this planet are stupid or foolish?) In response to the original question, FWIW, search the recent archives (or Google) for "sawfish." There was a discussion recently on how to replace Metacity with sawfish that might help. Have fun.
