Metacity

So I've been going around upgrading users from various older RedHat versions and the number one issue that that bring up seems to be "metacity won't do what I want it to".

It's been trying to insist that things are better when seemingly simple GUI functionality isn't there. I understand that there's a desire to keep the default setting simple in order to avoid the bad old days of nightmarishly complex configuration files, but are there any plans to add back some of the functionality that people (especially people who got used to sawfish) now expect from their window manager?

I'm considering bugzilla-ing a feature request or two in the right place, but I seem to remember that there may be some artificial or political restrictions on this issue.

Some of the commonly missed functionality people have bemoaned to me:
* click-to-raise on windows (NOT auto-raise)
* maximize-vertical
* always-on-top for a particular window/app
* scroll to next desktop with mouse motion
* the ability to easily choose an alternate window manager
