Description Tuukka Tolvanen 2002-09-20 21:17:20 UTC 
Metacity copies Windows' (evil) button order that
makes the maximize/unmaximize button dangerous
(read: slow) to use, but fails to copy Windows'
workaround which obsoletes that button -- making
Metacity less usable (read: slow) than Windows' wm
decorations in this respect.

Metacity should copy Windows appearance/behaviour
properly where it does; here (default to)
maximizing/unmaximizing window on double click in
title bar instead of current shade/unshade.

related:
  * bug 93672 - pref for same
  * bug 92617 - shading/unshading should happen
with scroll wheel (I agree with this, it is very
intuitive, and does not collide with any expected
or necessary behaviour)


(metacity deb 2.4.1-1)

Tuukka: it makes more sense to add a comment to an existing bug report
than to open a new one. Also, many many thanks for your duplicate
finding :)

*shrug* Well this made sense in the issue tracking sense, as this I
consider a bug to fix the default behaviour set to be more consistent,
not an rfe to add a pref ... anyway, whatever gets stuff done best,
wfm :) v, fwiw.
