I started down the "let's make Metacity more configurable road" and
finally decided, "hey, you know what?  GNOME doesn't *force* me to use
Metacity!"  So I don't.  I switched to xfwm4 (the XFCE window manager),
and I'm totally happy[*].

[*]OK, not *totally* happy.  I don't like the way xfwm4's alt-tab works
(it cycles through the panel windows, and it appears to block audio and
visual events while it's cycling (e.g., hold down alt-tab too long and
xmms stops playing), and I can't get it to remember how many workspaces
I have).  Other than those two minor things, I'm *totally* happy.  :-)
