Yeah, I've talked to the same person, and was told that these users are also confused by horizonal/vertical window mazimize options. I hope that moving windows doesn't confuse anyone, or we'll all be in trouble.

GNOME and the way forward Posted Aug 18, 2005 19:04 UTC (Thu) by bronson (subscriber, #4806) [Link] Ah, many of us have talked to the same Red Hat employee. His refusal to accept a simple patch to toggle horizontal and vertical maximization is what drove me to use the KWin window manager to show my Gnome desktop (works great, btw). Basically, he required that the h/v-maximize patch also "fix" the current atom behaviour, turning clean tens of lines patch into a few hundreds of lines of gobbledygook. If this continues to be the case, I'm skeptical that Metacity will EVER support toggling h/v-maximization.
