I am wondering what the source of th rpm he is trying to install. Sounds like it is for Redhat 9 or later. Rebuilding might resolve the library dependancies. Might not. Sounds like the version of metacity he is trying to install wants XFree86 4.3.0. Not certain when libstartup-notification started to be provided as well. It is from the package "startup-notification". (Like that is a surprise...) -- Alan <alan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
