+In fact it's just another problem with « failed to register » functionnality.
+The « something goes wrong » windows before is certainly related to that too :
+gnome-shell was already failing to register itself, & now the same is
+happening with metacity.
+
+If i'm not wrong guillomovitch opened a bug report regarding this.
