Dig.

Okay, so the one thing not addressed (as it affects VMware's Unity) by 
toggling LIM is loss of decoration when a window is maximized.

  • Unity 2D/Metacity
    · Sorta covered by 
gconf:/apps/metacity/general/show_maximized_titlebars.
    · Not so nice behavior observed if toggling setting while a window 
is already maximized.  Is this a bug?  I can look into this.  (When 
disabling, titlebar area isn't redrawn & buttons no longer work.  When 
enabling, the titlebar doesn't appear.)

  • Unity 3D/Compiz+plugin(?)
    · ?????
    · You mentioned PanelMenuView in a previous message.  Does this 
component relate to window decoration, or only what shows up in the 
panel?  (I'm assuming the latter.)  I gotta bail for the weekend, but 
I'll check out the unity sources from bzr next week.
    · I can attempt patch sets locally, test 'em out, and publish, but 
any clues for related components, comparable existing schema to model 
after, etc. would be appreciated.

Thanks!
