This isn&#39;t really a bug in Metacity or in Compiz; what you&#39;re really<br>
asking for is either that Metacity or Compiz should be the exclusive<br>
window manager in use or that an enormous effort should be expended on<br>
making the UI of each one exactly the same in every little detail. Both of those are far more far-reaching decisions than bugs in any one package.<br></blockquote><div><br>I think that <br><br>1) gnome and/or ubuntu folks should define a standard behaviour for _basic and very common_ actions such as a click on the window contour buttons or the ALT+TAB keyboard shortcut. Something like &quot;gnome window manager user interaction policy&quot;.&nbsp; Thus the user does not have to unlearn its reflexes when he changes its window manager.<br>
This policy could be quite sparse, I don&#39;t thing it&#39; wise to include&nbsp; every little detail in it.<br><br><br>2) the gnome and/or ubuntu folks should set up the Metacity and Compiz default installation to meet this specification. If some window-manager doesn&#39;t meet it =&gt; file a bug in ubuntu launchpad or gnome bugzilla for the window-manager package.<br>
If Metacity and Compiz are tunable this seems &quot;easy&quot; (what do you think ?)<br><br>3) If Metacity and Compiz are not tunable enough to meet the specification then the upstream developers should fix this =&gt; file a bug upstream<br>
This may be a lot of work.<br><br>by the way, I filed this bug to submit the idea, I would perfectly understand if it is marked &quot;won&#39;t fix&quot;<br></div></div>
