Hmmm. I'll take that back, light-themes package does change *metacity*
default for all themes not just when ambiance/radiance is enabled. My
fault for not checking that more thoughtfully.

I'm aware of muscle memory, but because I've switched from Mac and
still dual boot Mac quite often I welcome this change ;-)

I've heard (ubuntu planet?) that one of the reasons was that OSDnotify
popups are in the top right corner and this way there is less chance
of "blurring" them out since now your mouse most likely will not do
anything there. "Click through" is a harder concept to grasp then
"close button is over there and nothing will cover it up"

This definitely needs patching =) It looks like the artistic concept
for this theme was worked out first and only later it was engineered.
