By default Gnome Classic does not run compiz which has the windows snapping feature.

By choosing Applications - Other - Startup Applications you can add the following startup application compiz --replace:

You can control windows snapping via CCSM -

sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

  • If I run compiz --replace, it reverts back to the Unity UI. Is there a way to get it to just start compiz? – JesperE Oct 18 '11 at 08:44
  • very strange - the OP and myself have this working in Gnome-fallback... its worth a question! Remember to add details of your graphics. Also worth testing unticking the "unity plugin" option in ccsm to see if that helps. – fossfreedom Oct 18 '11 at 08:50
  • Unchecking the unity plugin in ccsm worked. Thanks! – JesperE Oct 20 '11 at 07:12
