I entirely agree that gconf shouldn't have the same tight guidelines as preference windows, but also think the preference->gconf transition should be mch easier.

One question that shoots through my mind is an obvious one: "WHY?" Why does one need to enable desktop-wide accessibility in order for window content to be shown while dragging under reduced_resources? Wouldn't a much simpler state of affairs be two gconf keys for metacity: window_content_while_dragging minimize_animation rather than these "abstract" GConf keys? OK, I’ll give this a shot.

Wouldn’t a much simpler state of affairs be two gconf keys for metacity:

window_content_while_dragging
minimize_animation

rather than these “abstract” GConf keys?

This is needed as 'reduced_resources' disables showing window content while moving windows, enabling accessibility re-enables showing the content. 1. go to apps/metacity/general and enable ‘reduced_resources’

2. finally go to desktop/gnome/interface and enable ‘accessibility’. This is needed as ‘reduced_resources’ disables showing window content while moving windows, enabling accessibility re-enables showing the content.
