Bug Description
"Aero Snap - Clicking and dragging a window to the right or left side of the desktop causes the window to fill the respective half of the screen. Snapping a window to the top of the desktop maximizes it. Resizing a window to touch the top or bottom edge of the screen maximizes the window to full height, whilst retaining its width; these windows will then slide horizontally if moved by the title bar, or can be pulled off, which returns the window to its original height." - wikipedia
This Windows 7 feature use to work on ubuntu 12.04 out of the box. Now in 12.10 it only works sporadically.
