Bug Description

In Ubuntu (even 10.10 and older) till the latest 12.10 there is a great and easy feature:

Middle click on Maximize -- Maximize Window Vertically
Right click on Maximize -- Maximize Window Horizontally

Could you please implement these. I use them almost all the time, especially right click is a good feature.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

I also use this, but I don't know how easy it is to implement with libmutter. Another similar feature could be what Windows 7 had. If you drag one of the edge of the window to the edge of the screen it'll maximizes vertically or horizontally the app. I could settle with either.

If that's possible with LibMutter it sounds like a cool feature.
