Severity: normal
When I use metacity, there's about a 1cm gap at the top of my display
where it will _not_ let me move windows!
Here's my screen layout:
+------------------------------------------+----------------+
| Area metacity won't allow windows in | Corner Panel |
|..........................................+----------------+
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
| Edge Panel |
+-----------------------------------------------------------+
My guess is that this is a `feature' intended to stop people from
obscuring top-of-screen panels, but it's simply broken in this case.

Ok, so I'm closed the bug.

You can always automask the panels, but they are designed to stay on the
screen when a window is maximed yes ...
Perhaps using the fullscreen mode is an another solution ?
