+You need GTK+ 1.3.x (to become 2.0), at least version 1.3.9.  At the
 moment CVS HEAD works, but that can change. Metacity is a fairly
 trivial 6000-line C program, so once you get GTK+ built it should be
 no problem to build Metacity.

 REPORTING BUGS AND SUBMITTING PATCHES

-Report new bugs to hp@redhat.com for now. Will switch to Bugzilla

+Report new bugs on http://bugzilla.gnome.org.
 
 Feel free to send patches too; Metacity is really small and simple, so
 if you find a bug or want to add a feature it should be pretty easy.
+Send me mail, or put the patch in bugzilla.
 
 See the HACKING file for some notes on hacking Metacity.
