metacity possible showstopper




I was finally able to get a trace for a metacity bug that has been
recently been introduced.  It was a pain since the only indication
of a crash was that all my unmaximized windows shifted down and to
the right.  I attached a gdb process to metacity in a screen
session and waited for my desktop to freeze, and then ssh'd in
to get the backtrace.

Anyway, the bug number is 315000 and I was thinking that this might
be a possible showstopper candidate?  Since metacity respawns it
doesn't have a huge impact on the user, but then again we want our
window manager to be as stable as possible, right?
Kjartan Maraas also found this using valgrind in bug 313030.


Thanks,
  -Brent
