As I use to resize app windows myself(e.g., I need to read the content of an inactive(resized) app window while retaining the focus of the current app).

The resizing is totally unnecessary in my experience, I hope it can be turned on and off. > -- > Bojan > _______________________________________________ > gnome-shell-list mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
