Mutter combines a sophisticated display engine -using the Clutter toolkit with solid window-management logic inherited -from the Metacity window manager. + GNOME Shell provides core user interface functions for the GNOME 3 +desktop, like switching to windows and launching applications. +GNOME Shell takes advantage of the capabilities of modern graphics +hardware and introduces innovative user interface concepts to +provide a visually attractive and easy to use experience. -While Mutter can be used stand-alone, it is primarily intended to be -used as the display core of a larger system such as GNOME Shell. -For this reason, Mutter is very extensible via plugins, which -are used both to add fancy visual effects and to rework the window -management behaviors to meet the needs of the environment. +Tarball releases are provided largely for distributions to build +packages. If you are interested in building GNOME Shell from source, +we would recommend building from version control using the build +script described at: + + http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell + +Not only will that give you the very latest version of this rapidly +changing project, it will be much easier than get GNOME Shell and +its dependencies to build from tarballs.
