Ubuntu 11 Natty Narwhal – Can’t roll up windows anymore!

Oh the humanity! One of my favourite features, which I use constantly in Ubuntu 10, is the ability to rollup windows by rolling my mouse wheel on the title bar.

Unfortunately in Ubuntu 11 this feature is omitted by default. Rar what am I to do!

Anyway to fix this in a terminal run the following:

gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gwd/mouse_wheel_action shade

This will enable rolling up the window again automatically – no need for a reboot!

Happy rolling!

    Excellent! Its too bad we cant we figure out how to do this using the GUI? (e.g. compiz-manager)? I certainly haven’t been having any luck!

    However, I think I’d be more interested in a double-click action.. I tried the following:

    gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gwd/action_double_click_titlebar shade

    Then I thought this would be more appropriate:

    gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar shade

    Still no luck though.. what do you think?
