Bug Description

Binary package hint: monodevelop

Monodevelop has a built-in gui designer (stetic), but it is not accessible (the "Designer" button is nowhere) unless the user installs metacity.
So I suggest making monodevelop depend on metacity.

And maybe the new package should be built from 0.11 because it has bugfixes.
Thanks.

Metacity is still not enough because the designer still lacks functionality. (at least it can be used)
There are no window titles and frames in the designer.

(not even if trying to use metacity as the actual running window manager)

I got it!

It should depend on ubuntu-artwork (which is not installed by default for me, because I use kubuntu), because it provides the Human theme for metacity.

Alternatively, the metacity package could provide a simple default theme. (ubuntu-artwork and its dependency takes 10 mb, which is o.k for me, but could be critical when someone lacks space)
