How to Disable full screen window dragging in Gnome (Centos 6)

December 4th at 12:00am

After installing a Centos VM on a low power ESX Host I noticed that most of my 'idle' time was waiting for windows to redraw. In looking around the Gnome GUI I was unable to find a way to disable window redrawing. To disable the windows equivalent of Show window contents while dragging in Gnome you can:

  1. Open a Terminal
  2. Run This command:
    gconftool-2 -s -t bool /apps/metacity/general/reduced_resources true
