The main issue I've been seeing on this list is people with a 1920x1080 screen want it one way, and people with a 1024x600 or 960x640 screen want something else. I agree we need to make things like this optional (or even auto detect based on resolution). That is if we want Gnome-Shell to run o

Actually no, I can't even say that. Hitting the same place on the edge of the screen every time is way easier than hitting the window decorations, wherever they might be or however far it might be to the menu. On Tue, May 3, 2011 at 3:54 PM, joshua simmons wrote: > Except that it's only a minor
