"Reopening the bug for unity-2d since it was fixed in unity-2d's metacity branch but when the patch was upstreamed into ubuntu the uploader forgot to add it to the patches/series file"

Thanks for bringing that up - had the bug you duped, (against unity-2d in 11.10+)
A quick rebuild of metacity, (2.34.1-1ubuntu4) oneiric, adding the patch to the series & this now works as expected with the default of hide-mode 2

Maybe metacity should be added to this report?
