This is one of the unfortunate side-effects of changing the window manager
from sawfish (Gnome 1.4) to metacity (Gnome 2.0.x), which is much simpler
but also less capable ...

One _can_ change the window manager back to sawfish, but it appears to be a
can of worms (try a search for 'gnome metacity sawfish' on Google). I
haven't managed to get the change to stick between sessions yet.
