I running Opensuse 12.3 / GNOME. When I move a window around and it touches the top of my screen the window maximizes. Can anyone explain how to get rid of this useless and extremely annoying feature? Thanks.

Hi
Run the following gsettings command;


gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false

Thanks! That seemed to do the trick.

Why isn’t this setting customizable through “System Settings” or some other convenient place? I jumped from Opensuse 11.3 to 12.3 expecting big improvements. Instead I’ve been shockingly disappointed.

Hi
dconf-editor and gsettings are the tools, you might want to check out
the extensions at https://extensions.gnome.org/ some things are slowly
coming back in the 3.x.x series. Have you thought about upgrading the
shell to 3.8.2?

i believe it is most likely the ‘jump’ from GNOME version from 2 to 3
that is the (both) shocking and disappointing (rather than the
openSUSE upgrade)…

well, of course some find any change (aka: progress) upsetting.
