So it seems it hasn't been dealt with (or I > haven't found the bug number..) alright, thanks http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2002-October/msg00281.html since that time metacity and especially the contraints code has been changed significantly. The constraint itself is still there and pretty much obvious to see for anybody. Even if the behaviour was as Havoc thought it was, ie windows should be allowed to go off the top screen until the lower end of the window is visible, it's still takes away the option to move windows wherever the user wants. One of the people requesting a patch just wanted to place two xterms on top of each other. They almost fit the screen but for the titlebar of the upper xterm. In that case metacity would prevent moving the window off the top because the window is already completely on screen. Anyway, in my experience metacity prevented going off top regardless of how big the window was. Sorry to bother you with speeches. I know I should post this to the metacity folks. It's just that I still get mad at that "feature". > PS: please, don't cc people when responding on list.. I didn't cc, it was an error (wrong button), sorry for this Mark
