From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030314 Description of problem: Request for enhancement: Metacity does not have a wireframe window move option: only opaque move is allowed. This is very irritating on a slower machine, and especially for people like myself who habitually use wireframe move on other systems. I understand this very feature has been the subject of heated debate on the developer's mailing list. There appear to be patches available to add a wireframe window move and I wonder if this could be included in a RedHat update for Metacity. The new option should be reflected in the Preferences->Windows configuration tool. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): metacity-2.4.34-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to RH 9 with default window manager 2. Drag any window around - note that it moves opaquely, redrawing all the time. 3. Select Menu->Preferences->Windows. Note that there is no option to select wireframe window moving. Actual Results: Stuck with opaque window moving :-( Expected Results: Should have an option for wireframe window moving in Preferences->Windows Additional info:
There's already a bug for this on bugzilla.gnome.org I handle metacity bugs on both bug trackers, so there's no value to having one on both. ;-)
