Public bug reported:
Metacity window manager in Ubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 (Precise) is outdated
and still uses gconf, while latest 2 upstream versions (2.34.2 and
2.34.3) already are converted to gsettings. Currently Ubuntu users, who
prefer classic gnome (with panel) can't change window button layout and
other window manager settings with usual tools, like dconf-editor or
gnome-tweak-tool (gnome-tweak-tool was adapted to Metacity/Mutter ported
to GSettings since 3.3.4, which is currently in Ubuntu 12.04)
New Metacity version (2.34.3) is already in Debian unstable, please
merge and improve live of Ubuntu users, who prefer classic Gnome
appearance :)
I'm pasting latest entries of debian/changelog:
metacity (1:2.34.3-2) unstable; urgency=low
* Upload to unstable.
* Replace Suggests: gnome-themes with Recommends: gnome-themes-standard
since Adwaita is the preferred window manager theme and we want it to be
installed by default.
* Use strict dependency between metacity/libmetacity-private0a and
metacity-common to ensure we have the correct version of metacity-common
providing the org.gnome.metacity gsettings schema.

metacity (1:2.34.1-2) unstable; urgency=low
[ Josselin Mouette ]
* Depend on gnome-icon-theme. Closes: #638141.
[ Michael Biebl ]
* Use a strict dependency between metacity and libmetacity-private.
* Due to incompatible changes in libmetacity-private, which broke reverse
dependencies like compiz, rename the library package to
libmetacity-private0a. Closes: #629310
* Add Breaks/Replaces: libmetacity-private0 to libmetacity-private0a.
* Add a lintian override for the package-name-doesnt-match-sonames warning.
* debian/watch: Track .xz tarballs.
