Strange?  It seems perfectly in keeping with the GNOME design philosophy to
me, in which software should "just work, without configuration", and in which
configuration options are a sign of design failure.

I am honestly surprised that metacity continues to support configuration of
those buttons at all, much more than I am surprised the only interface is
through the GNOME registry.

...or did you mean something else?
