Btw, I like compiz a lot, so I will stick with the manager that has support for it :) Also, I couldnt find a gnome forum to ask for this enhancement :( I think this unity gui is at the latest ubuntu, but I preffer to stick to the long term supported stable releases; I think next one is next year..; so I am still with gnome :D @dbunic

Maybe there is a hope with Compiz but in new GNOME 3, UI is completely redesigned and Compiz is not no more supported. I'm familiar with RedHat/Fedora distributions and only have heard that Ubuntu has "Unity" as UI (please correct me if I'm wrong), so I can't help you about Ubuntu ... :( @teique - In GNOME 2.3 (Fedora Core 14) I can only check on Select windows when the mouse moves over them, so there isn't any other option.

The cairo-dock, and other docks I think, do this. And several bars also. That would be a great workaround to Gimp tool bars that keep bothering... And to double click to roll up or down is too much effort :(... Btw, that control-center-extra does not seem available to ubuntu, I cant also find even its sources for version 2.30.2 (my current gnome on ubuntu). Any tips on this? thx!!
