Hi Jerry. They are all that way that I know of... You can switch to a
different window manager and it ought to bring the function back. Something
must have gotten messed up in Metacity. I'm not sure where their settings
are, but I really don't even know what kind of things ubuntu has going on in
11.04 as I stopped on 10.04. I am trying LXDE desktop with open box as I
type this. It does what you want and I am liking it so far...
