After just having upgraded to 11.10, I wonder how i can change what happens when I double click a window title bar. I had it configured to roll up (I cannot remember the phrase in English, in German it was "einrollen", i guess) which was found in the appearence menu as far as a I remember.
The solution proposed at What happened to "Roll up" option in Preferences/Window/Title bar Action? doesnt work for me insofar as toggle-shade minimizes the window with a roll-up animation, and shade alone will maximize the window after rolling it up.
Anyone have a clue what i can do?

Run in terminal:
gconftool-2 -s -t string /apps/gwd/mouse_wheel_action shade This will fix it on Ubuntu 11.10 for those using Unity.
Use Ubuntu-Tweak to do this:

8If you are using GNOME Shell, install gnome-tweak-tool :
sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-toolThen launch it, go to Windows and set up whatever you want.
** Just noticed you specifically mentioned this method doesn't work for you. Sorry about that!
To roll-up a window when you double click on the title bar, all you have to do is change existing preferences without the need to install any extra software just for this one feature.
SYSTEM > PREFERENCES > Windows > Select "Roll Up" on the Titlebar Action Menu
This worked for me with Ubuntu 11.04.
1Update for 13.04 To toggle shade with mouse wheel on title bar (w/gnome fallback here, not sure if this works in standard installed unity)
Use dconf editor to change
org.compiz.gwd mouse-wheel-action none
- to
- org.compiz.gwd mouse-wheel-action shade
v13.10 (flashback)
dconf
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences
- action-double-click-titlebar
- action-middle-click-titlebar
- action-right-click-titlebar
