I see from the screenshots that our editor has succumbed to Metacity. I tried it for a while, but its inability to maximize a window along a single axis drove me nuts. This deficiency is probably a result of the Gnome Project's goal of being a Big Rubber Nipple for the masses.
Sawfish is in a state of semi-disrepair, but it still works with Gnome. Openbox is getting better too.

You can maximize along a single axis in Metacity. I do it all the time.That said, this bug drives me nuts.

You can maximize along a single axis in Metacity. I do it all the time.How do you do that? I right-click on the maximize button and I get a menu; middle-click is a no-op. I've got the version from Debian unstable, although I haven't tried it for a while.

[CTRL]+[KP_ENTER]I haven't figured out how to map it to a mouse action, but then I don't play around with that stuff very often.
