I'm not sure if this is more helpful or not, but KDE allows much more 
control and I think it includes what you're asking.  I gave gnome a 
whirl early on on Taroon and gave up on it because I couldn't get on 
with the default settings.   Going (back) to KDE was wonderful -- I no 
longer felt I was struggling against the desktop.
