Description Markus 2008-07-31 03:12:28 UTC 
I think it would be useful if it were possible to stop processes through the window manager. I normally use the shell to sigstop resourceful processes if I need the whole performance at one process. But it would be way faster the direct way.

My thoughts on the general problem got long enough to become a separate blog post:

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all
old feature requests in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you still use metacity and if you are still requesting this feature in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/metacity/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be implemented.
