Bug#450837: metacity: One way maximising

[Tony Houghton]

Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.20.0-1
Severity: wishlist


Every other window manager I've used allows one way maximising with the
mouse on the maximise button ie right clicking maximises only
horizontally and middle clicking only vertically. I posted a patch
upstream to make this optional in metacity
<http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=456278>; the developers were
loosely in favour of hardwiring this behaviour instead of making it
optional but the idea got side-tracked. Would you be willing to accept a
patch for Debian?
