Default behavior on my fresh install of Ubuntu MATE 14.04 has the active window maximize when the title bar is dragged up to the top of the window. I'm not at all a fan of this behavior. I have tried to find a setting in gconf and dconf to turn it off. I also installed CompizConfig Settings Manager and set all the edge behavior there to "None." But this has no effect on the maximizing. Is there any way to turn this off?

Dconf editor: org -> mate -> marco -> general
Untick side-by-side-tiling
Thanks to Rinzwind for pointing me in the right direction -- a resource that never surfaced in my googling. Found the answer here: http://forums.mate-desktop.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3266&p=9964&hilit=window+maximize#p9964

2Actually you don't even need dconf editor for that. System -> Preferences -> Windows -> Placement -> Enable side by side tiling.– anlarDec 10, 2014 at 19:38
