Hmmm -- you may have to drop out of compiz into metacity, set this option, 
then switch it back. But it does work in compiz. I don't recall ever having 
to twiddle config changes manually. In CompizConfig I have "Gnome 
Compatibility" enabled -- that may be the trick to getting compiz to honor 
this config setting.
