HowTo Hide Window Titlebar on Maximized Windows
- Open the Compiz config panel: either using the terminal "ccsm" or from the Gnome menu: System→Preferences→CompizConfig Settings Manager
- Go to "Window Decorations", in Category Effects
- On the penultimate line; "Decoration Windows", the default is "any", meaning all windows have a titlebar
- Replace "any" with "!state=maxvert"

Buggy Gnome Main Menu
I've been living with the new Gnome Main Menu for a while now. Like many others I run Ubuntu these days and I've found the version in Feisty Fawn to be extremely slow and buggy.
I tried manually installing (dpkg -i) the latest version in Gutsy but it had too many dependencies. So I decided to try and backport it, and it worked!
I haven't set up any repository, so just download the below two .deb files and install them with "sudo dpkg -i *.deb" in a terminal window:
The md5sums for these files are:3f0a962ffdd2974663f2f425eed5f541 libslab0_0.9.8.svn.20070430-1ubuntu1_i386.deb 1d11fcace33bab707e28c230c85ea1ba gnome-main-menu_0.9.8.svn.20070430-1ubuntu1_i386.deb

Aaaah, the fish got a facelift! :)
This is just great! Wanda the fortune telling fish of the Gnome desktop got her self a face lift. Take a look at this:
Add her new look to your applet by copying the file to /usr/share/gnome/panel/pixmaps/. Select it in the applet preferences and use 8 frames and 0.3 seconds per frame.
