[Bug 45706] Resizing improvement request

[Trouilliez vincent]

Public bug reported:

When I watch TV, I would love to be able to resize the window while keeping the aspect ratio constant. I gathered that metacity does already handle thie feature.  However I understand that it must be handled by the application. But I watch TV using the programs "tvtime" or "xawtv", both of which are not gnome programs so can't assume that they are being used with metacity.
So it would be great if it could be possible for the user, not the program, to control the aspect ratio.
I dunno, for example, if I hold the "control" key while resizing the window, make metacity lock the aspect ratio, or add some option in the window menu (top left corner) or something...

** Affects: metacity (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Wishlist
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu)
     Severity: Normal => Wishlist
