I tend to think metacity upstream might take sane patches to address
this use case. (I doubt they would add a UI preference to turn the
mode on and off, but we don't need that).

The netbook Ubuntu guys are trying to go down that way:

<jdub> njpatel: btw, have you considered adding a maximus mode to metacity?
<njpatel> jdub: yep there are some patches, but the initial idea was
not to change from  stock hardy too much. Anyway, the performance
would be better if the maximising were done in Metacity, so I'm going
to try and clean those up and get them accepted when I get some time
