Can't resize gnome terminal to larger than monitor width

In Ubuntu Karmic Tim Irvin reported: 1. irvin@office9:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 9.10 Release: 9.10 2. irvin@office9:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-terminal gnome-terminal: Installed: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Candidate: 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 Version table: *** 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 0 500 http://mirror.cs.umn.edu karmic/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3. I have a dual monitor configuration, with NVidia TwinView (2 X 1680x1050 monitors). With gnome terminal I tried to resize a window by grabbing the side of the window and dragging it to a size larger then a single monitor. 4. What happened was that I was unable to move my mouse past the monitor boundary (it would not move on to the screen of the next monitor). I was able to make the window straddle the 2 screens by moving the window, but then if I tried to resize the window it would snap back to the closest monitor edge.

Which window manager is that with? Please try if this happens when using metacity, with compositing disabled (gconf key /apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager => false).
