I',m already a step ahead. I tried this before trying gconf-editor as
this didn't work. When I try this I get an error window stating:
An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for
gnome-window-properties. Some of your configuration settings may not
work properly.

Details tell me:
Type mismatch: Expected `string' got `bool' for key
/apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar

This is exactly what I see in gconf-editor. I was looking for the master
information that makes
/apps/metacity/general/action_double_click_titlebar a boolean instead of
a string.
