I can't at the moment, as I am away from my Rawhide boxes.

Okay, I found it. It's this change:

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&file=window.c&branch=&root=/cvs/gnome&subdir=metacity/src&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&rev1=1.406&rev2=1.407

It was partially backed out a few days later with this:
http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&file=window.c&branch=&root=/cvs/gnome&subdir=metacity/src&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&rev1=1.412&rev2=1.413

The new behaviour is still there for terminals.

This is where the author of the change explains the rationale:

I think at least a couple of Metacity developers, including the person
that started the project, are RH employees. :-)
