metacity2.14.5 under etch: keyboard lockup when opening a window

From: Raj Kiran Grandhi <grajkiran(at)gmail.com>

Hi,

I use gnome+metacity in etch.

I am experiencing random lockups of the display since a few hours. Opening a window seems to trigger this. So far it has happened when launching gvim, iceweasel and gnome-terminal (not everytime). What happens in such cases is that the newly opened window is left without the window-manger's borders. Keyboard locks up. Mouse responds to motion, but mouse-clicks do not work. I am able to ssh from a remote machine and kill metacity which seems to bring everything back to normal.

There does not seem to be any bug filed against metacity at bugs.debian.org, so I am not sure if it related to metacity.

The only change I have made to the system today is to upgrade icedove to the testing release and install qemu.

Has anybody experienced a similar problem? Is there something I might have done that is causing this?

Thanks,
Raj Kiran
