I can confirm the "active desktop borders" bug. On at least three separate installations (dapper and edgy), selecting "always enabled" will work, and had the desired behaviour.
But...when going back into the settings at a later time, the "only when moving windows" option is selected (but not applied). It seems that the code that reads the current value of the this setting and renders the dialog is broken and fails to see the actual setting, instead just displaying a default option. -- (Dapper) Same reaction whatever option choosen in Desktop>Windows behavior>Actions in title bar https://launchpad.net/bugs/40596 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
