Comment #11 already details how to manually work around this bug. Of course, if you change theme thereafter, you'll have to edit that theme's metactiy-1.xml file too.

I hate to be doom and gloom, but this metacity bug is upstream on gnome : for a couple of reasons, it's unlikely to be fixed ever. The upstream bug had a patch issued Dec 2008 (!), since ignored and the last comment there was January this year. It's much more likely that this will be addressed in Gnome 3.
To that end, I'd recommend hacking your themes until then. It's been three and a half years now and nominated for every release of Ubuntu since it was raised, so I can't see anyone taking up this torch when a new Gnome and theme engine are just round the corner.
To my mind, the importance (low) of this bug speaks volumes regarding whether it will be fixed. Perhaps Ayatana will make a difference, but sadly Paper Cuts didn't (it was ignored by the last two Paper Cuts attempts).
Sorry if I sound jaded. In my head, this bug was buried a long time ago.
