(All commands as root).
Get the src.rpm for metacity and run rpm -ivh on it. Open
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/metacity.spec and change Requires: redhat-artwork >=
0.62 to Requires: redhat-artwork. Then run rpmbuild -bb
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS/metacity.spec. When (if) it finishes, run
rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/metacity-2.5.3-3.i386.rpm.
That _might_ work, but don't be suprised if it doesn't.
