 COMPILING METACITY
 ===
 
-You need GTK+ 1.3.x (to become 2.0), at least version 1.3.13.  At the
-moment CVS HEAD works, but that can change.
-
-There are SRPMs and sometimes RPMs on the ftp site, but you'd be
-pretty lucky to get them to work for now, since they are often out of
-sync with GTK. You might try with the GTK from ftp.gtk.org, and also
-the GTK from http://people.redhat.com/hp/gnomehide/.
+You need GTK+ 2.0, ideally the latest in the 2.0.x series.
