I think that 1) gnome and/or ubuntu folks should define a standard behaviour for _basic and very common_ actions such as a click on the window contour buttons or the ALT+TAB keyboard shortcut. Something like "gnome window manager user interaction policy". Thus the user does not have to unlearn its reflexes when he changes its window manager. This policy could be quite sparse, I don't thing it' wise to include every little detail in it. 2) the gnome and/or ubuntu folks should set up the Metacity and Compiz default installation to meet this specification. If some window-manager doesn't meet it => file a bug in ubuntu launchpad or gnome bugzilla for the window-manager package. If Metacity and Compiz are tunable this seems "easy" (what do you think ?) 3) If Metacity and Compiz are not tunable enough to meet the specification then the upstream developers should fix this => file a bug upstream This may be a lot of work. by the way, I filed this bug to submit the idea, I would perfectly understand if it is marked "won't fix" ** Attachment added: "unnamed" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13928175/unnamed -- compiz and metacity should behave the same way https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
