From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20021003 Description of problem: Metacity is lean on features intentionally but there are two that I think are highly important to usability: (a) Stay on top. It's very helpful to keep certain small windows on top that contain information, whether it be changing or static. (b) Fit inbound. When a window gets bigger than the available desktop space and the edges are off the screen or under the panel(s) it would be great to be able to choose a command that brings all the edges back inbound isntead of creatively finding and dragging the corners. Not sure if these features are in there and I missed them, but I can't see them. ;-) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: None Additional info:
stay on top keybinding is: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=102541 "fit inbound" is a workaround for bugs, if you have applications that grow outside the bounds by themselves on a regular basis the right thing to do would be to fix those apps, probably. I don't see this as a common operation and don't think many users would find or use the feature. But if you really wanted it, it could be implemented external to the window manager, say using libwnck.
