I posted that question some time ago for my Toshiba laptop with crappy
graphics, and got the following answer (from Malcolm Tredinnick):

-----------
Depends on the window manager. The default GNOME window manager,
metacity, does not have such an option. There is a bugzilla bug about it
somewhere (which contains the metacity maintainer's justifications), the
is a Sun patch for it (since they wanted it anyway), there is mail in
the archives (possibly the archives of this list) about it, too. Search
for "wireframe metacity" and "Calum Benson" to find the latest mail to
the patch.

The alternative is to change your window manager to something like
Sawfish.
