Dear all, I noticed this behaviour on my system about two months ago (metacity 1.18.0 at the time) and could not chase it away.
I noticed that when this happens (go to console mode if you can, or ssh into) there is a dangling metacity-dialog process. Kill it and you're done. Not sure why this happens, tho Regards from Marco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
