Description Rowan Kerr 2006-02-01 16:42:01 UTC
In Metacity's Window Preferences, there should be a third option for Titlebar
Action: Minimize (in addition to Maximize and Roll up).

This will allow Metacity to be consistent with expectations of Mac OS X users
where double-clicking a titlebar Minimizes the window.
Comment 1 Elijah Newren 2006-02-01 18:19:20 UTC
There is an option in recent versions of Metacity to have double-click do minimize, settable via
  gconftool-2 --set /apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar \
    --type string minimize
Adding something for this in the window preferences for this option would be the control center's job, except that the window preferences menu item should be removed altogether (see bug 154614) and instead placed in an outside package like gTweakUI.  So, you'll need to file the request for UI options with gTweakUI or your other favorite outside settings tweaking package.  I'll mark as a duplicate of bug 300210 since Metacity has the necessary abilities.

Thanks :) I vaguely remember trying to set that value years (2? 3?) ago, and didn't notice any change in behaviour. Nice to know it's there!
Comment 3 Rowan Kerr 2006-02-01 19:45:08 UTC
How "recent" a version do you mean? Running metacity-2.13.34 from Fedora Core 5 Test 2, with action_double_click_titlebar = "minimize" (instead of the default "toggle_maximize"), windows still maximize when double-clicked.

Could this be a FC-specific issue?
Comment 4 Olav Vitters 2006-02-01 22:17:51 UTC
You need the next version, 2.13.55.
Comment 5 Elijah Newren 2006-02-01 22:20:16 UTC
Yeah, I just checked the changelog, but apparently Olav was faster.  Anyway, I apparently was wrong and instead of saying "recent versions" I should have said "the latest version", because you need metacity >= 2.13.55.  (This fix was
the first commit after 2.13.34 was released).
