Are you a FC developer? Have you checked the behavior?
I can't at the moment, as I am away from my Rawhide boxes.
It is unconditional. So, I should file a bug, eh?
Okay, I found it. It's this change:

It was partially backed out a few days later with this:

The new behaviour is still there for terminals.
Again, I think Fedora should reject this change to Metacity.
I know that Redhat maintains custom kernel patches. Can we
have a Metacity that doesn't implement this nutty window management?
This is where the author of the change explains the rationale:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326159
Does Fedora Core have any influence over the development decisions
of the Metacity project? Are we simply at the mercy of their whims?
I think at least a couple of Metacity developers, including the person
that started the project, are RH employees. :-)
