Huh? I use Compiz at the moment, but as far as I can remember, resizing along an axis is just Ctrl-click or Alt-Clicking maximize.

Besides, no one is forcing you to use Metacity for GNOME, it's just the default.

I'm using sawfish in fact, as I mentioned. It's been in a state of semi-maintance for years now, but I still find it better than the alternatives.

As far as vertical/horizontal maximization: yes, I think you can configure a keybinding for it, if you happen to find that convenient. I prefer to use the mouse (alone) for that sort of thing. I even wrote a patch for this feature back in 2002, but I was informed that it was "crack." I eventually got tired of patching my own version of metacity, so I reverted to sawfish. It seems to be faster anyway.
