Yes, I changed these to suit my tastes and also set a single workspace.

Metacity really is nice and simple and it's great to be able to code all
these preferences into the binary - much cleaner for an embedded system
than having a config file or gconf.

Thanks for the heads-up.

I guess you must have done that, as I didn't play with the keybindings
yet - I'm still working on capturing key press events with the linux
kernel event interface - I'll need to set the keybindings when I then
propagate the key press events through to X though.
