Yes, which is why I'm not sure that it's something to consider for the 
default theme of 2.8.0. It would have to involve a little bit of 
metacity code magic, maybe a theme-specific option that would allow and 
disallow this, or a g-conf key to do so. Some themes would simply not be 
fit (haha, pun) for this.
