You've got the tools--with metacity 2.30.3, switch to Clearlooks, look
at the X and judge for yourself. I tend to notice things like this and
think it is quite detracting, and as a theme author I really dislike
the undocumented change in behavior. The lack of response and notice,
however, makes me second guess whether it's really important to anyone
else. I'm just trying to ensure that this remaining point that wasn't
fixed gets attention, and there isn't another long-persisting nuance
like the missing corner issue that still haunts the metacity wikipedia
