I
don't know when this happened but it [finally] did! After years of pain... After hours of searching the web for a fix... After eons of inconvenience... They finally let users decide for themselves; how they wish to resize their windows in a stock gnome environment!Every software update was an adventure
Naturally it is possible to use other window-managers than metacity, but anyone who has ever tried to use non standard software in mainstream distributions know that it can be a bit tricky. Small interoperability problems start to rear their ugly heads and every software update becomes an adventure.
The problem has been solved by the editing of a simple gconf key;
/apps/metacity/general/resize_with_right_button.Now you too can have Metacity window operations that work the way they were supposed to.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...
I've spent hours swearing about this, working around it, using different window managers in place of meatcity just because of this...
Finally some sanity... Only sad thing is I didn't find this until NOW!
I love you! For reference, you can open up the editor by doing
gconf-editor /apps/metacity
