Is it possible to have Mutter merge the title bar of maximized windows and the panel, like happens with Compiz and Metacity? I want to try to replace Metacity with Mutter in Unity 2D, and so far it looks good appart from the missing panel integration.
Finally found something!
sudo apt-get install maximus
maximus
gconf-editor
/apps/maximus/no_maximize
to truemaximus
to the startup applications.
