[Bug 137239] Re: compiz and metacity should behave the same way
I think the trouble is that Metacity is not tunable enough to do this by design: Metacity is supposed to be a small, simple window manager without a whole lot of options and bells and whistles. Of course we could patch it at the Ubuntu level to behave differently, or to be more tunable, and we could consider some kind of standard about how basic and very common actions work (although I'm not sure that "middle click on maximise button" counts as basic and very common) at, say, the freedesktop level, although currently that role is mostly filled quite reasonably by consensus. If you've found a place where that consensus falls down, such as here, I think it's not unreasonable to ask Metacity or Compiz to change their default behaviour when you middle-click the maximise button as a specific bug (at least at the Ubuntu level; since this has quite recently been the subject of a slightly heated discussion upstream, I doubt the upstream maintainers would upset the boat by changing the behaviour again now.) -- 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

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

This isn't really a bug in Metacity or in Compiz; what you're really asking for is either that Metacity or Compiz should be the exclusive window manager in use or that an enormous effort should be expended on making the UI of each one exactly the same in every little detail. Both of those are far more far-reaching decisions than bugs in any one package. -- 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
