I dont get all this :-) All I know is I am using gnome which sometimes
seems to be using metacity.
Can I replace xsession by metacity?
FWIW, the procedure I used for my screencasts was:
1) Install the "openbox" window manager
2) Log out of your desktop, and log back in to an "Openbox Session" from
GDM, rather than a full GNOME session
3) Right-click on the desktop and use the menu to launch a terminal
4) Run Xephyr -- this command is a little different to the command from
the tutorial page, because the original command was segfaulting for me:
Xephyr -keybd ephyr,,,xkbmodel=evdev -screen 1280x720x24 -dpi 96 :2
5) Start the nested X session:
DISPLAY=:2 /etc/X11/Xsession

Ive been trying to follow this link
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/screencasttutorial
1. It says xsession wont work in gnome -- any alternatives?
It's a capital X in Xsession. But you can just use any windowmanager
instead of Xsession. after the `export DISPLAY=:2` just launch wm2,
xfwm, fluxbox, ion3, icewm, openbox,... whatever.
