Great - when you report bugs, please add garnome-list to the Cc, that way we
can watch/help your progress. I haven't seen the lots-of-crashing metacity,
but the restart with shifted windows thing has been around (and frustrating)
for a long time.

Haven't seen this, would be useful to the mozilla people to get this
resolved, I'm sure.
