Comment 13 for bug 315119

I too would like to be able to use the full functionality of Metacity. I too don't understand why if someone was willing to make a patch, the patch would be denied.

The fact that there may be other ways to do something has rarely been a good argument against a ~particular~ way of doing something. I mean why have an indicator-session applet when I suppose I could just hit the power button on my laptop?

There are aspects about KDE that I don't like, so it would be nice to get some of KDE's functionality in Gnome. Maybe I am missing something, but wasn't the lack of configurability of Gnome relative to KDE one of the historical complaints about Gnome?

I don't know if some designers are just capricious, lazy, or what, but not fully implementing a spec sounds reminiscent of Internet Explorer 6, and downgrades masquerading as upgrades.

While it is not major, if someone is able and would be willing to patch it, your efforts would be appreciated by at least some of us who don't know how.
