@Quentin:

It’s a feature: there’s no other way of controlling the window with the mouse if the titlebar isn’t visible.

Like gilir, I’d like being able to switch workspace with the mouse wheel on the desktop.

btw, I’ve noticed that if a window’s title is outside the desktop, left-clicking on its border doesn’t resize but pops up the window menu instead. I’m too lazy to report the bug, or is it a feature ?

+1 for the bug 565409 :) This is definitly an option that I’ll use.

Another option which I found usefull in compiz is the ability to switch the workspace when using the mousewheel on the desktop or on a edge of the screen. I don’t know if metacity is able to do that, but I think it can be usefull too.

gilir, a happy user of metacity :)

Why isn’t there and FreeDesktop-WM?

ie merge KWin and Metacity and just use different conf-backends?
