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