Bad news. I just ran google earth and shortly after, while doing some
aggressive window-swapping, it crashed with the usual symptoms. Note
that while switching, metacity draws white borders around windows using
probably the same technique as OSD.
Without PageFlip, this seems to be stable.
This is without any packages from experimental. I will try that some
other time.
Greetings,
Joachim
