Package: metacity
Version: 1:2.8.8-1
Severity: wishlist
The geometry should always appear when resizing windows.
It works with pseudo-text windows like gnome-terminal or xterm but not
with graphical windows like galeon or xload.
I'm used to see the window geometry under wmaker when resizing
windows, it's useful for example to resize your browser to 800x600 in
order to produce 800x600 desktop compliant web sites.
Thanks.

This is a design decision, and not a bug. Here's the explanation from
the upstream developers;
"On the dup, I believe the conclusion was that the
developing-a-web-site-for-800x600 is the only use case anyone could
come up
with for showing the pixel size on all windows.
It's not worth showing this weirdly technical and distracting info on
all
windows, just for that occasional web developer use-case. Instead,
there are
Firefox extensions that will pop your browser window to common screen
sizes,
for example. IOW a solution specific to the web dev use case should be
used,
not a generic WM change for all windows."
If you disagree, I will reopen the bug and tag it as wontfix instead.
