>From what I can see, on bootup its starting a metacity process, and
calling anything with --replace isnt removing that original metacity
process. Killing the plain metacity process fixes it for me every time.

For instance, if I boot with no compiz and change metacity to use
compositing via gconf-editor, it starts a new metacity --replace process
but leaves the old one there and I get 100% cpu usage with 10% cpu usage
in gconfd-2 being the highest visible thing.

robert    3813  2.9  0.7  21488 11092 ?        S    19:59   0:03 metacity 
--replace
robert    4563  0.0  0.4  18868  6640 ?        R    20:01   0:00 metacity

Killing the 4563 metacity process cures it. The same thing happens when
I use compiz --replace.
